Road team

Houston - 31                                           Indianapolis - 10

Texans -4.5                      

Texans should win even if starters on both teams are pulled. Winning the game must have some importance. I think the Texans will want to enter the playoffs on a winning note. Indy had a surprising year but I don't see them surviving the wild card game, but you never say nrever.

Houston -

I love Indy to win this one SU. Their coach being on the sidelines for this one.............do you actually think they aren't going to win this one for coach? If you say yes then.........why?

Indy has motivation here..........their coach will be standing tall on the sidelines after beating cancer! I'd call that motivation. They will also have a packed house in a revenge game. Indy all day....PLEASE

I now realize you meant homefield adv throughout the playoffs. If they wanted to secure that position, shouldn't they have beaten the Vikings last Sunday?

Indy has NOTHING to gain here. No matter what they will be the 5th seed & will more than likely sit any players that are banged up. Houston needs this win to lock up Homefield advantage, otherwise they will be playing the 1st round because there's no way Denver or New England will lose at home this weekend. Houston is just the better team & should roll quite easily. Houston -6.5

Chuck Strong, but O-Line weak. Luck's been sacked more times than the Kardashian Girls' chins........

Still, you know how I feel about them home dogz.....

I'll probably play this one safe, and tease Indy with something else.

I don't think Houston blows this game. But I don't see them covering 7 either. Luck has struggled away from home, but at Lucas oil field he has been solid.  Riding the home dog here +7!

Last week doesn't mean they will come up flat this week. Luck turns the ball over far too much & that ground game of Houston will pound the 30th ranked rush defense of the Colts just like last 2 weeks ago. I see this as another double cover for the Texans. Also remember all it takes is 1 injury to a key player for the Colts & they will start pulling their players. Houston needs this game while Indy gains nothing win or lose

This is the only game I'm betting on.  They have a lot at stake and will be playing to win.  Bought a point, Houston -5 1/2.

Say what you want about Indy having motivation with Chuck being there....but dont bite on it. Houston struggled last week vs a running team or you could say it was a lookahead game. Your choice, but just remember that the Colts are not going to blow out the Texans here. Texans have the matchup advantage. Colts are weak on defense and will have to protect vs a run and pass game. Texans are not suited to stop run heavy teams which the colts are not. They are great vs teams who pass and since the colts do not have a run game, they will need to pass to score vs Texans. This game has Texans win by 7 written all over it.

Indianapolis has been playing for they're coach and fans all year.The Texans STINK on the road,plus I think they are a little over rated.Coach on the sidelines,pact house,could be the last game at home till next season,not even suppose to be in this position or make the playoffs,they aint resting garbage!! They will be playing this game hard,all the pressure is on the overated Houston Texans baby,.COLTS+7
