Why I chose Houston...
#1) Indy defense is nothing to write home about especially against the run. Houston will run, run, run, nice little play action.
#2) Indy has two offensive lineman out and has struggled with the run
#3) The mythical figure of Luck is beatable and he's the best player on a team with barely above average talent.
#4) Indy on the road is sketchy
#5) Houston D is for real and can make life hell for this injured Indy offensive line.
Not sure what people see in Indy to think they are such an easy pick.

i like indy to come out of the afc. Andrew Luck will be a legitimate mvp candidate at the end of the year. I agree that Houston Defense is for real, but I'm not sure that the offense is. yes they can run the ball but in the end fitzpatrick has to make a play, and at the skill positions i don't see the talent like on indy. Indy has the ability to control the tempo of the game, neutralize the home crowd and pull out the win. just my thoughts but i cant put trust in the less efficient qb. in these primetime games, give me the more consistent qb.
Fitz hasn't been the main problem, it's been stupid penalties and other mistakes by the offense as a whole that have hurt them. You don't win with 2nd and 3rd and long. Fitz and Luck lead the league in int's I believe, so Luck throws them as well. Hilton usually kills Hou, so they need to contain him. They also need to contain the TE's for Indy too.
fitz hasn't been the problem but they also havnt needed him to win the game yet. they have beaten washington, oakland and buffalo. i guess the best win is buffalo, this team is still unproven, i don't think they are nearly as good as people are making them out to be. so many holes on this team, i know the whole forum everywhere i look likes houston, but i think its being over thought.
