Thursday Night Football this week in the NFL will feature the Indianapolis Colts traveling to Houston to take on the division rival Texans. The Colts are on a two game win streak, while the Texans are 1-3 so far this season.
When I look at this game, I realize that both of these teams are not very good. At least so far this season they are not very good. I thought that the Colts at the beginning of this season would be a Superbowl contender. Their only two wins this season are against mediocre teams, and they were lucky to win these games as well. Rumors are floating around that the Colts quarterback Andrew Luck will not be able to play tonight due to injury. This hurts the Colts tremendously because Andrew Luck is their best player. However, last week Matt Hasselbeck didn't look bad when he stepped in for Andrew Luck.
The Texans on the other hand, look just mediocre. A key matchup to watch for in this game is how the offensive line of the Colts will be able to manage arguably the best player in the NFL, JJ Watt. The Texans quarterback situation is pretty bad considering both quarterbacks they have played with look bad. I feel like most of these matchups favor the Colts, so I will pick them to win this game in a close one. I think that all around, the Colts are just the better team. With or without Andrew Luck.
Final Score: 24-21 Colts
