Four2itus Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 What do you feel about the matchup? Will Brinson of CBS had this prediction.... Colts at Texans Sunday, 1 p.m. ET TV: CBS | Stream: Paramount+ (click here) Latest Odds:Houston Texans +10 The weirdest thing about the 2021 NFL season? The Texans are 2-9 and eighth in defensive DVOA. They're terrible against the run, which portends nicely for Jonathan Taylor in this matchup. But what if Houston just loads the box, slows down Taylor (a.k.a. CBS Sports senior NFL reporter Jonathan Jones) and creates a turnover or two by pressuring Carson Wentz? No one thinks this Texans team is good, but they're trying every week and the Colts are coming off the emotional letdown of being stabbed in the side with a Tom Brady sword. I think Indy is a good football team, but this is a big test of how they can respond. The Pick: Texans 17, Colts 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I feel that all we really have to do is just use our best plays that have worked and we will win easily. This should be like the Jets game on a short week. Should not have to worry about matchups that much. Just pound the ball and just play. Houston doesnt have the players Tampa has so loading the box won’t be effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastStreet Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Colts will Rock, Roll, and Run.... Houston is arguably the worst run D in the league. 2nd most rushing YPG allowed, 2nd most rushing TDs allowed. If we ice JT.... it'll be ugly around here, win or lose. In reality, all our backs should get plenty of carries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvan1973 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 If they stack the box and dare Carson to throw, he is gonna throw. 8 or more in the box you have to. They won't go more than 10 plays in a row without a straight run this week though. No matter what the defense is doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisticuffs111 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I’d try to use this game to get Hines going some. Obviously JT too, but Hines could use the confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingus McGirt Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Hate to be a pessimist, but here’s a possible Monday headline: “Texans, Tyrod Taylor administer kill-shot on Colt’s season.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chad72 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 More Chris Reed, more icing for Big Q, I would not mind that. Perfect game for Marlon Mack to list himself amongst waiver adds by running more in the second half, IMO. Great game for Jack Doyle and MAC to burn that Texans D who are terrible vs TEs, that is where I would attack in the passing game because there will be plenty of opportunities with play action. Just a "take care of business" type of game, 34-17 type of game, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
