Since the Colts won today they've clinched a playoff berth, so is this the scenario where they might rest Luck next week for the first weekend of playoffs since they can't improve on their playoff position/seed ?

I think they play him most of the game... he's a rookie and needs experience.... Not sure they (Colts) can improve their situation seeding-wise...

What bothers me is how lifeless the Texans have looked in their three losses - as if they were just going through the motions. They haven't truly lost anything yet but they could become the third seed if they don't take care of business next week in Indy. I would have preferred that it had not come down to that but I guess the Texans didn't want it that badly today.

Early line is Texans by 4.5 over the Colts....

Maybe only because the Colts won't have anything to play for ?

Pagano will be back on the sideline coaching. They have that to play for and their emotion is going to be sky high. Extremely worried about this game.
