Houston offensive props are best bets tonight
A. Foster stats:
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players...1/arian-foster
In the first game of the year, when Houston defeated Indy at Houston,
Foster got 33 carries and amassed 231 yards. Subtract the long run in
that game of 42, it's still 189.
To what degree will the Texans follow the same formula ? Likely to a large
degree. They have to keep P. Manning off the field as much as possible.
Everyone is saying that, but it's no cliche. Texans rank 31st against the pass.
With that type of vulnerability, Colts without Collie and Clark are still a major
passing threat. The only way to keep Manning off field is to grind the clock
on the ground. It won't take more than 1-2 breakout runs to lock the Over
for Foster. Only a 2nd year back, he has plenty of stamina.
Colts rank 27th in run defense. But they also rank 23rd in pass defense.
It's a tough call as to which Houston offensive prop is superior;
Foster Over 101.5 Rushing or Houston Over 22.5 total points.
they both appear to be great bets and the books have them extra
juiced. Foster Over is -120, Texans Over is -130.
Foster not taking Colts lightly: Since he delivered one of the best opening weekend rushing performances in league history vs. the Colts, Arian Foster expects the Colts to be out for revenge in Week 8. "I'm not going to be nonchalant because I had 231 yards. They're going to remember that," Foster said. Foster has faced a bevy of eight- and nine-man fronts since torching the Colts in Week 1. "You have to stay consistent and not get greedy as a runner," he said. "It'll come if you stay patient."
