They will conclude their campaign in the same manner when they square off this coming Sunday in Week 18. Their first meeting was a draw, though, so this upcoming matchup is for all the marbles in their head-to-head regular-season series.

Yeah, they are not in great shape and they only have two wins this season to date, but any team, even the Texans, will always have a shot at taking down a seemingly listless Indianapolis team that will start a rarely-used, unproven quarterback in Week 18. Houston, on the other hand, will have Davis Mills, who passed for 240 yards and two touchdowns without an interception in Week 1\u2019s 20-20 tie at home versus Indianapolis.<\/p>\n<p>The Texans are 5-2 against the spread in their last seven games versus AFC South division teams.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-165803\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Houston-texas-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"162\" srcset=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Houston-texas-1.jpg 900w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Houston-texas-1-250x45.jpg 250w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Houston-texas-1-600x108.jpg 600w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Houston-texas-1-768x138.jpg 768w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Houston-texas-1-150x27.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Betting on the Indianapolis Colts (<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/football\/nfl\">-3.0<\/a><\/span>)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><strong>Regular Season Record: 4-11-1<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Jeff Saturday is looking more and more like a bad choice to be head coach of the Colts, who are coming off a 38-10 road loss to the New York Giants in Week 17. Nick Foles started for the Colts in that game but an injury ended his night, leading to Sam Ehlinger taking over the rest of the way. Ehlinger, who will start in Week 18, had 60 passing yards and a touchdown with zero interceptions on 9\/14 completions versus the Giants. Houston\u2019s defense can quickly turn into Ehlinger\u2019s punching bag, given that the Texans are 26th in the NFL with 24.3 points allowed per game.<\/p>\n<p>The Colts are 14-5-1 against the spread in their last 20 games after scoring fewer than 15 points in their last outing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/signup\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-165681\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Indianapolis-Colts.jpg\" alt=\"Bet on the Indianapolis Colts\" width=\"900\" height=\"162\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Colts win, 23-20.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/signup\">Click here to make your 2023 NFL picks<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/signup\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-164058 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/NFL-Draft-Betting-Preview-2020.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" srcset=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/NFL-Draft-Betting-Preview-2020.jpg 900w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/NFL-Draft-Betting-Preview-2020-250x78.jpg 250w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/NFL-Draft-Betting-Preview-2020-600x186.jpg 600w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/NFL-Draft-Betting-Preview-2020-768x238.jpg 768w\" alt=\"NFL Draft Betting Preview 2020\" width=\"900\" height=\"279\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"175695\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;1,429&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;1&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Houston Texans and the Indianapolis Colts opened their 2022 NFL season facing off each other.
