Texans predictions

[Stephen]

20 to 20 tie

[G8R]

 

Colts D makes life hard for Stroud and doesn’t allow him to complete passes to himself, the O continues to mesh and grow, The good guys 27-20
 

 

[Dingus McGirt]

Houston 35 Indy 20

[chad72]

Colts 24 Texans 17

[thunderkyss]

17 - 3 Texans

[IinD]

 

We give Houston a little of this ..

 

21-20 Colts.

[Chucklez]

If Moss is in the lineup, I think it's enough of a boost to make a noticeable difference on offense. 

 

I'll say 24 - 21, Colts dub.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

24-10 colts

Is this a joke? 35, from that offense?

Another joke? I understand picking the Texans to win but these are some wild scores.

[2006Coltsbestever]

This is 1 game where I don't even have to pick with my heart. We should win this game. Colts 24 Houston 17.

23-17 Colts. They kick some field goals this week. 

[Indyfan4life]

Shane learns from his mistakes and takes the easy points. 
 

27-10 Colts. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

This may be one of the few times that most Colts fans agree on whether we win or lose. This is just my % but I give us a 60% chance of winning. So I have it as 60/40. I am basing it on how we just played the Jags and Houston looked like a stink bomb against the Ravens. 

[KB]

Jackson will get a TD, and a run above 30 yards. AR runs in for another TD.

I hope the Butterfinger stay away from the field and Moss is back along with Hull

Unfortunately, Steichen said that Hull "could miss some time" with the knee injury. Our hopes lay with Moss being game ready next weekend. The real worry also being that Moss has never been a featured bellcow. We will still likely see a sizable amount of Jackson next weekend, it might be his last chance to prove himself though.

[lollygagger8]

I'd like to see some more RB wheel routes, but I guess it also depends on how many times Jackson fumbles. 

 

Take some deep shots too! 

 

Colts 24 Texans 20

AR will throw more passes to his left.  He only threw 6 of 37 to his left during the Jags game,,,and one was the pick, so if he throws only 19% of his passes to the left that's more than he did during the Jags game.

[Yoshinator]

24-21 Colts.

 

Both teams are bad, but I believe Richardson is better than Stroud, and can carry this team to 24 points along with the defense doing just enough to win.

Just a prediction…

[runthepost]

Prediction is a bad football game on both sides

[RollerColt]

I think a major question is whether the Ravens defense is better or worse than us. They were able to handle Stroud just fine. 
 

History says we’re normally a friendly team towards opposing rookies… allowing a lot of completions…

[Colt.45]

24-16 Colts

From what I saw when I watched BAL vs HOU, Stroud could throw the ball pretty well all over the field, and escape the rush pretty well.

Colts win 31 - 3.

Another thing people aren’t talking about is as bad as Houston was last season they had an elite pass defense but was terrible at stopping the run. Right now we can’t run

I wouldn’t be shocked if we lose. The Bradley modus operandi is giving up completions but preventing explosive plays… Since the Texans don’t have those guaranteed home run threats, this could actually work against us. I wouldn’t be surprised if Stroud runs for multiple 3rd down conversions.

21-17 Colts

I'll predict 17-16.  But who comes out on top in that stinker is a toss up, IMO.

I agree our defense should be able to handle the Texans (if they played like the past week) I get a feeling that AR may go over 300 yards in this game and 50 rushing yards. Pierce and Cox need to up their game and get open and not running lazy routes. The running game will be better this week but only good for 80 yards total.

 

Colts 20-13

Houston 24-13

If cox and Jackson  play texans 42 to 21.

Sounds about right I think.  AR was definitely better than CJ last week.  However, the game will be AR's first road game, and I also expect CJ to improve a little bit.  I also think AR will be a bit better as well, and I think coach will open up the offense a little more.  60% in favor of Colts sounds about right.  Colts are favored to win -154 last I checked.  (Bet $154 to win $200)

What’s interesting is I don’t remember posting this and what’s even more interesting is this thread wasn’t even created on 8-18. Unless my phone is showing me the wrong thing?

[King Colt]

Houston has a solid running back in Dameon Pierce. I don't know how good/bad the Colts are against the run.

[indyagent17]

How many times have no name and 1st starting QB and RB have a field day against our defense. its been like this for decades
