Here is how the Horseshoe Huddle staff sees the Week 8 matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans unfolding.
on Sunday in a rematch from Week 1 when the Texans left Lucas Oil Stadium with a 29-27 victory.sees it unfolding for the Colts in Week 8 on the road against the Texans, with our roundtable of four analysts making it a clean sweep in favor of the visitors.
If Anthony Richardson and Indy’s defense can replicate their road performance from last year’s game against Houston, it’ll be a fun watch for Colts fans. The Colts’ offense is due for some success and Jonathan Taylor has a history of it when facing off against Houston. Defensively, Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud will see a different secondary compared to the Colts’ Week 1 group. If they can limit big throws, the Colts have a recipe for a win.
The Texans are the comfortable betting favorites, but I feel much better about the Colts in this one as long as they show up to play. The Richardson and Taylor combo is hard enough for any opponent to defend. Plus, we know what Alec Pierce did to Houston's secondary in Week 1. The Texans are pretty banged up without a few defensive starters in this one, and Nico Collins being on IR and unable to obliterate the Colts' secondary will be quite helpful toward a Colts win.
Indy and Houston generally play close games, so I think that trend continues. Gimme Colts 24-20 and Richardson for 2 two scores with his feet despite facing a tough Texans defense.Jake Arthur has covered the NFL and the Indianapolis Colts for a decade.
