Official Texans vs. Colts Game Thread, 10/16/2016
Week 6 finds the 2-3 Indianapolis Colts visiting the Texans on a SNF broadcast. Last week, the Colts defeated the Chicago Bears 29-23 in a home game. On the season, Colts QB Andrew Luck has thrown for 10 TD's with just 3 INT's and has a 95.4 rating. WR T.Y. Hilton is averaging 101.4 yds/gm. RB Frank Gore is on pace for a 1,000 yd rushing season. The Colts would love to take this one as it would vault them into 1st place in the AFC South after being buried just a few short weeks ago.
The 3-2 Texans are coming off a 31-13 road loss to the Minnesota Vikings. QB Brock Osweiler has been less than stellar but if ever there was a time to pad his stats, it should come against the Colt's defense (30th in yds/game, 30th in pts./game). The Texans are 5-23 all time vs. the Colts. The Texans are 3-2 straight up and ATS, the Colts are 2-3 straight up and ATS. ------------------------------------------------------------------ TV = NBC (channel 2 local), 7:30 pm, Oct 16, 2016 Announcers = Al Michaels, Cris Collinsworth The line = Texans by 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Sunday viewing in the Houston area: CBS (early) = Cincinnati @ New England, Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts FOX (early) = Philadelphia @ Washington, Kenny Albert, John Lynch FOX (late) = Dallas @ Green Bay, Thom Brennaman, Troy Aikman -------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Prime Time: TNF = Denver @ San Diego (CBS; NFLN) MNF = NY Jets @ Arizona (ESPN)

Great lineup for Sunday before our game. Don't know whether to watch the Cinci vs Pats or the young Philly QB on the early game ?
Last night the SB champs Broncos didn't look so formidable in San Diego so could be the Raiders are the team to beat in the AFC West.

As for the Colts, we have to be able to shut down Luck's top weapon, T.Y. Hilton. Do that and I feel good. But doing that is also easier said than done.
I want to see Braxton Miller become a weapon again. Get some early completions for Osweiler to gain some confidence and then work Hopkins and Fuller into some deeper passes.

----------------------------------------------- The emergence of Fido. Ya know, I didn't like this pick when we got him in the 2014 draft. I'd never heard of him so at the time, I went to Youtube and looked at some of his highlights at Iowa. I saw a slow, lumbering guy and thought, well, perhaps the scouting dept sees something I don't - afterall, they're the experts, not I. Lately, he's been showing hands I didn't know he had and emerged as sort of a Gronk-lite. He's still just 24 and so maybe there's hope he can be known for something other than off-sides and holding... ------------------------------------------------ Denver looks vulnerable, lately. Like the Viking game, the Texan will be about a touchdown underdog. I'm thinking they can do better this time around..... Wouldn't it be nice to be hosting the Lions with a 5-2 mark? ----------------------------------------------- Unfortunately, my recording of the game stopped on the final drive. There were a couple of players who were hopping around Oz while he was being interviewed by Michelle Tafoya post-game. One was Hopkins - did anyone catch who the other player was? He kinda did a vault off Oz's shoulder pads...
