    No discussion over the thursday night game

    I'm liking Houston big at -6. Colts just got their first win and that was big for them, but as opposed to the big difference mental wise between 0 wins and 1 win, I don't see much difference between 1 and 2 plus the whole Luck thing although the players aren't thinking about that. I think after getting torched in Carolina Houston will bounce back here Yates will have a better game and Foster/Tate will run all over them plus that Houston D will be hungry after having to face an explosive offense in Carolina to this week playing one of the worst in the leagues. Shouldn't be close in my mind.

    a touchdown at least. This is a team that might get a bye in the playoffs. They're playing a team that's got 1 win.

    I like Houston -6, Indy has trouble scoring and I don't believe they can run all over Houston like they did the titans. I see them scoring about 10 maybe 17 if they get a lucky score. The texans started too slow last week but came alive in the second half, Foster is a play maker, I feel like Houston will score 24 atleast maybe even 31.

    They did, but the Colts are not the Panthers. The Panthers can score the Colts cannot. The Panthers even blew out the Colts a few weeks ago.

    If this game is close basically all that will mean is that Houston is a pretender which is what a lot of people are starting to believe anyway, and that maybe they can't survive with a 3rd string qb, even with that D. But that's exactly the point, the D got lit up last week and that's their strong point doesn't mean that Yates will play any better but the defense surely will I can't see the colts scoring more than 10-14 points in this game.

    They really missed Wade Phillips last week. He won't be there this week either but the Colts are not good on offense at all. Carolina is.

    Put all the motivation crap aside for a second and you have a Division Rivalry game where the visiting team, down to their 3rd string QB and missing A. Johnson is favored by 6. I may take the points expecially if it goes up to 7.

    Yes, it is kinda tough.

    Houston has never won a game at Indy. They are 0-9. However, Indy had Manning in those games.

    Houston gets only 2 days of practice before traveling after a bad loss to Carolina.

    Yates is probable, but has elbow, hand and hip issues on the injury report.

    Indy just had their 1st win vs Tennessee, but is this enough to give them an edge against 10-4 Houston? This is the same team that lost 13 straight this season. Somehow, I can see Indy pulling out the win here, but it's a real gamble, and I dont think taking Indy with the points gives me any more confidence.

    I wanna bet this game, but I got a bad feeling about it.

    Carolina was a great bet last week, Texans won't lose this game outright.

    TNF=UNDER. So far TNF dogs are 4-1, not including the Thanksgiving games. Colts Under follows the trend. I like under personally like everyone is saying scoring will be a problem...

    Colts defense of the first 13 weeks could blow up that Under, and I think that's the defense you'll see next two weeks

    How much motivation will the Colts have now that they got the monkey off their back? I would think they lost an edge winning outright last week and getting that much embarrassing first win that you know they wanted. Some might think it's motivation to win another, but i could see it being enough for them. I think they'll come out and be more of the Colts of the first half. Which could cover this spread of more then 3, but i wouldn't expect them to play like last week however.

    But, i don't think Donald Brown runs wild on the Texans like he did against Tennessee last week. There should be a huge gap in rushing offense this game tonight. If Yates can keep from turning the ball over then i think the Texans control the clock and cover.

    Could easily play out under that like a 17-14 win or 21-10 BOL! I like the under 40 may buy 1 pt just to feel EXTRA secure
