It would probably help your cause if you explained to people that you have this thing you do predicting against the Colts.   And that you always do this. 
 

Reverse jinx?

Texans.  13

Closer game than most expect. 

Marlon Mack goes for over 100 yards.

[Solid84]

We have to win. It's the Texans.

Think it's going to be a close game. We had their number last year, but it's the first game of the season which we generally come into looking half asleep. This offsets what would have been a lopsided win in my opinion. Still a win though.

[King Colt]

You folks can't read or don't. The Texans are a mess from front to rear and top to bottom. This year's "ship of fools" lives for one reason and one reason only....the 2023 draft. But they beat the Rams in preseason you say!!! I gave my firstborn a Superman costume when he was six. He was thrilled beyond belief but I told him "Do not attempt to fly."

If they lose game 1, the Colts could easily slide into an 0-3 start again.

and they will if they don't fix the Oline

[danlhart87]

Colts  will start the season 1-4 but finish over 500

[John Hammonds]

If Colts start 0-3, heads will roll.

This game will be closer than people realize IMO. Texans will keep it close and cover the spread while the Colts get a 4th quarter victory. I don't think this team is as ready as people give it credit for. We'll play a decent game, and hopefully be in tune for Jax in week 2.

[CheezyColt]

Defense hasn't looked good. I can see Mills taking what we give him while they run the ball on us with that Pierce kid. I think we're going to come out of week 1 with the W, finally, but not feeling especially good about the team. I think we'll be able to get the turnovers needed to put it away, but it won't be pretty.

Yikes!!  I’m hoping they start 3-0.

Houston just doesn’t have talent. Mills may be decent, but who does he have to throw to or block for him? Texans will play hard, but only way I see this being close is if Colts get sloppy with penalties and turnovers.

Yeah, I was being sarcastic!

[2006Coltsbestever]

Everyone knows that is typical Dan just being funny. I can't believe this game is only 3 weeks away. We should win something like 30-20. I don't even know the point spread, it has to be something like 8 or 9 in our favor??

I have it at 30-20, we won't blow them out but should win by 7-10 points. The Jacks game at Jacks will be real close IMO but I think we can end that jinx.

I will be selling torches and pitchforks ... just in case.

I'm not impressed with pre season so far, but we have more talent almost everywhere, if we get outcoached by Lovie Smith, than Frank is in trouble.

[MikeCurtis]

Colts 34 Texans 21

 

JT will make the difference at the start ..... and the play action will start to open up.....

[Four2itus]

I predict a thread will be started after the game citing the need for coach/G.M./?coordinator needs to be fired.

 

This will occur regardless of the outcome.

If we lose something like 31-14. I am just staying away from here because it will be this around here

Lol....this forum will be like that if Colts lose period (regardless of score) 

[Chrisaaron1023]

Oh wow. I'm saying 28-17 I think it'll be comfortable. We outscored them 62 -3 last year. Have they gotten that much better, and us much worse? 

 

Jax will be a close game but I don't think the Texans game will be

p.s. I can't even follow preseason anymore. Why we start starters week 1 but not home preseason opener? I missed the 1st game and though oh I'll be able to check in on Sat. But no starters? lol I cant judge pre season at ALL!

[Myles]

I can't predict this one.  It's been 9 years since they won the first game of the season.  the Colts should be the better team.  That puts it at 50/50 for me.

I’m also a bit nervous about this team getting off to a slow start yet again this year. One of the things I haven’t liked about Reich. I feel HC is the key area holding this team back along with longterm franchise QB obviously.

The starters have barely even played and theres been no game planning. I wouldnt read too much into what the defense looks like.

[krunk]

I think we win 27-10 or 27-14 something like that

 Get a grip on reality.
 A new QB every year and a very young team. It is pretty amazing he is 37-28.

We are JUST NOW building our team with Ballards players with 3-4 years of NFL experience and playing together. Even we we are now we are still a little young across the board.
 Again, a new QB, a number of very young inexperienced players that will need half a season + to sharpen their knowledge of the system. This is true for most all teams... that is why the NFL is such a mystery.

9 years in a row is a long time for losing the first game of the season.   Not sure what the common denominator is.

It's time to break the tradition of losing the 1st game of the season. New year, new team. Let's get it done.

I would be thrilled with a Colts win and the ONLY Texan that played great was Mack.

Texans finish with 166 total yards and Mack accounts for 165 of them. That doesn't seem unreasonable.

Yeah, I expect the team to have a typical "Frank Reich" start and ease into the start of the season with losses.

I would go to Vegas, bet $10,000 and pick the Texans straight up then if I were you. Might make you a rich man with that confidence  .
