Official Texans vs. Colts Game Thread, 12/16/2012

[Arky]

TV = CBS (channel 11 local), noon Sunday CST

Announcers = Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts

The line = Texans by 8 to 9.5

Noon games the rest of the way. Texans are going to have to battlefight the Colts (here), Vikings (here) and then the Colts again (there). Starting off with a thrashing of the Colts would do wonders for the fan base blood pressure levels..... Obviously, the Texans could use the #1 or #2 seed for the needed and get-healthy bye week....

Well, Luck has 18 interceptions and 10 fumbles , and -38 points scored, but a 9-4 record. His 537 passes is second most in the league. Lots of downfield passes.

So, hope our DL gets pressure and we get some more of those turnovers by our secondary.

And our offense, hope they settle down, OL keeps pressure off Schaub.

Somebody throw a lasso around Mathis. He always eats our lunch.

We responded pretty well to the GB loss.

Also, I've heard a lot of talk about how we might not need the Colts game in week 17, but there is a greater probability now that the Colts won't need that game. If we win this week the Colts are all but locked into the #5 seed. I doubt they'd play Luck or anyone else if the game is meaningless.

That means winning this one is huge (duh). It not only checks off one of the 3 remaining wins we need for homefield, it all but puts another of those wins in the bag.

Sounds like Graham and Newton will be back this week. Ball is still a question mark.
