4* Free Week 18 NFL Betting Prediction: Texans ATS
Both teams enter week 18, looking to wrap up miserable regular seasons, with just 6 combined wins. Currently, the oddsmakers have the Colts as the slight favorite. However, I see this having mostly to the fact that they will be playing at home. If you are looking to get a bet down on the spread, I actually like the Texans and their chances to not only cover but come away with the win. Although Houston is coming off a terrible performance vs Jacksonville, they had previously shown the ability to hang tough against some quality teams. When it comes time to getting a bet down on the game, I like Houston ATS.
