Houston -3 (-110) $385 to win $350
I know, I know, another short fave but I think if you look at it you'll see that Houston isn't a bad team when they can run the football some. That makes me think that Indy is the perfect team they can face after an embarrassing performance (I played them last week btw) last week on the road at Minnesota. They couldn't get the run game going last week and they kind of just quit to be honest. Indy is terrible on defense in general, so they should have their spirits lifted some. I know Houston is without Watt but the defense isn't terrible. The run defense without Watt has been okay against TEN and MIN (2 run first teams) but the pass defense has left a lot to be desired and Luck will exploit that for sure this week. The problem is Houston will gash the Indy defense and wear them down to the point where they'll be able to score pretty easily late in the game if things break right. On the other hand, Houston at home should be able to buckle down and potentially get some late stops. I just don't see how Lamar Miller and Houston don't embarrass this awful Indy run defense and keep them on the field for an eternity.
