Official Texans vs. Colts Game Thread, 10/16/2016

[Arky]

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.
