4* Free Week 2 NFL Betting Prediction: Indianapolis -1
Richardson vs. Stroud is a fun matchup we’re looking forward to.
With the Colts coming in as 1.5-point road favorites, look for them to take advantage of a Texans team that is coming off both a straight-up and ATS loss.
Keep an eye on the injury status of Richardson in this one, we’ll be all over the UNDER even more so if he misses any time. (Minshew)
Last season, there was a lone tie in the NFL when the Colts and the Texans faced off in Week 1, resulting in a 20-20 deadlock.
As we look ahead to this week’s matchup, I have a feeling we might witness a closely contested game with a scoreline resembling that memorable encounter, although I don’t anticipate another tie this time around.
Our systems point to taking the Colts against the spread. (They’re 32-10-1 vs. Houston all-time)
I’m selecting the under as my pick, given the over/under line of 40. Everything in our models is pointing to a lower scoring game here.
The Texans offense is going to take some time to get going. Only 3 FG’s last week, and I’m not expecting them to just become an offensive juggernaut the next week. There are going to be growing pains here. (In Week 1 Stroud went 28-for-44 for 242 yards.) A positive? No INT’s.
Heading into this matchup, games featuring Houston have had an average combined score of 34 points, and I believe this game will stay under 40.
