Probably a little early but the lowest this goes is 80/20 on Indy. Just my opinion. Play your own plays, dont let people on betting forums sway your thoughts. Texans have played 3 road games, against very tough teams. They have dealt with Ike, relocating families, being off schedule, and could have beaten both Tennessee (pick six at the end) and Jacksonville (overtime). They ran into a buzzsaw and got pounded by the Steelers, plus Indy is without several key players. They do get Saturday back to protect Manning which will help the Colts but they will not be able to stop Houston. I lean towards the over as well.
I can pretty much guarantee over 85% of the public will be on the Colts at that number.
I agree that the Texans are the play this week, but would disagree with the person that said the Jags are better than the Colts. Indy, when healthy, is a much better team.
Houston has a good team, but they had a brutal schedule to start the year. On the road @ Pitt, Tennessee, and Jacksonville to begin the year. Now they have to play Indy. Mix in that they got their game against Baltimore (who they would have crushed imo) and this year has been brutal on them.
I am actually breaking a cardinal rule in sportsbetting here, I am a Bears fan relocated to Indianapolis but I work closely with the Colts as my profession requires me to. I just dont see this team leaving Houston without an impressive win this weekend after this BYE week. I know you shouldnt go with your heart in regards to capping. But in my case it has served me well over the years. I do believe the public will be on Indy this week but I think it will be somewhere in the 70 percentile for all the reasons stated above. GL
As far as the public being on Houston... I dont think they will....I just hope they will. I figure the public has to percieve the colts as a beaten up team at this point after the dismal start to the season. In actuality they are a great team with a few key injuries that are HYPED for this weekends matchup.
