Houston at Indianapolis (11/01/2010)

To DDDevin69

the things is 75%  of the public are thinking about the issue of the Colts key player will be out and hammering HOUSTOn just like  last night game PIT/Saints( we all see  what happen) as long the Start QB is playing. and boy oh boy this is not just any QB,, ITS fucken P.Manning..also this why they have back player in play.

im liking that  80% cover are on HOUSTON

leaning COLTS  LARGE

gimme extra super large

The over is 10 out of the last 11 meetings of these two teams and six of the last seven meetings in Indy.

OVER

808-- yes they did win both games ont he road..no real task as they played Oakland (4-4) and Washington/OT (4-4)...the stat I courious about is who and when is the last team to sweep Manning???? love love love the under- as history shows, the 2nd games play opposite the 1st...Indy and under....

Texans +5.5

Too many injuries for the Colts here to be giving 5.5 to a very good Texans team.  Texans play well on the road and should be able to keep this game close and maybe even win SU.

public all over the revenge factor....houston is the play

Im liking Houston's rushing against the Indy D that gave up almost 300 yds the first game, and the fact that Peyton's receivers are second string.  It's gotta be a close game, possibly a shootout.                      Teasing HOU +11.5, OVER 45

I don't know where you're getting your numbers from, but what I see is the public on the Colts and the over. I'll take Houston and the under.

Good Luck to all.

Some keys:

Houston can't get down by more than 10 points early, because Indy can then just use their pass rush. I think there's a better chance that Houston keeps it close than falls behind big early.

Once that's established ...

If Houston can be in the game, and either keep it close or be in lead, they have to commit to running Foster or his backup at least half of the plays. I think Houston realizes this and will try to do this.

If the first two things happen, then Houston should be feeling good, and they should use play action to good deep and score. This, of course, won't necessarily happen.

Houston +5.5

Houston Texans +6 LARGE

I posted earlier in the thread, but I wanted to add some more thoughts.  Will the Colts D stack the box and try to stop the run?   I think Bathea (sp?) is a decent safety, but aren't the Colts down to their third stringer at the other safety position?

I see the Texans running the ball fairly well, Indy moving their safeties into the box to help with run support, and Schaub going to some play-action on first down. Could be a huge day for Andre Johnson.  Pick your poison. 

I like it at +5.5, I love it at +6.

This is tough...

I look at a common opponent....The Giants played both teams on their home field...Colts blew them out, Texans got blown out.  That would make me want to lean towards Indy.

But on the other side, Houston already beat Indy, the Colts are missing key players, and conference games are always close.

Having a hard time here. 

The stats and my gut instinct are playing tug of war with my conscience. I might just sit back and watch from the sidelines on this one.

Hey W8,

First let me say that you're a guy whose picks I track regularly.  I have big respect for your capping abilities.  However, I also know that Houston is your team.  Is there any homerism in this pick, even a tiny bit, or is it purely objective?  Peace.

I'll second that as well.  I kinda do like Houston myself so it would be good to know that homerism is not a factor in this selection.  My initial lean would be to take that as well.

Much respect though W8 

IT MAY SOUND STUPID BUT IMO THE LINE LOOKS PRETTY LOW INVITING INDY SUPPORTERS, BUT FOR SOME REASON WITHOUT MCAFEE THE INDY PUNTER IT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN TONITES GAME !

I believe with the Colts injuries on both sides of the ball tonight, regardless of their bye week, will be a huge key factor. The Texans on the other hand are fully healthy and rested up. I really do believe without any homerism involved that Houston will win str8 up tonight but will have the insurance in the spread just incase there are any other injuries that happen tonight during the game. BOL bro. . .

Let's get this LARGE coin tonight bro. . .

FYI. Guys..This week had been really bad for Texas teams: Bold are presented the state of Texas.

Baylor 30
Texas 22

Utep       12
Marshall 16

Texas Tech 27
Texas A&M  45.  Note. they would have lost if they play against Oklahoma.

Jacksonville 35
DALLAS      17

TONIGHT GAME ! Houston ????
                           INDIANAPOLIS 34.  FINAL.

Colts will be facing a Texans defend that ranks last in NFL, allowing 411 yards per game. " We are pretty familiar with them, "Manning s Said" We know how important this game it will be".

As for this conclusion; I LIKE COLTS MONEY LINE TONIGHT!

GOOD LUCK ALL

My head is full of fcuk...!

at the point that im thinking about: Indy / Under
