i'm considering taking the +17.5 bud.

i feel this is a very good spot to bet the texans this weekend.

My first ever bet was the first two times these teams met. I figured the 16 points Indy was giving was an easy bet (I was new and didn't realize how large a line that is). As I recall, the teams were tied at the half at 14-14. Indy ended up covering (winning by 18) with a very strong second half. In theory, Houston is a better team now than a few weeks back....but so is Indy. It's a big spread, and I expect that Indy will ultimately cover it, but I'm not betting this game.

+17.5 looks tempting on the surface. Still havent looked at any NFL games yet.

Yeah, who can forget that game. That was my biggest play of the year and Indy crushed me.
