Houston and Indianapolis are both 0-2 entering their Week 3 AFC South game. FanDuel favors the Texans by 1.5 points, but the SB Nation preview predicts a 24-17 Colts win, citing Jonathan Taylor’s run game and Houston’s offensive struggles.
The preview says Taylor has 190 yards through two games and expects him to exploit Houston’s difficulty stopping the run. It also notes that Colts receiver Alec Pierce is on injured reserve and QB Daniel Jones has thrown two touchdowns and two interceptions.
Houston threw 55 times with C.J. Stroud against Cincinnati, and the writer expects a stronger commitment to the run. Receiver Nico Collins could again miss the game with a hamstring injury. The article also says Colts receiver Keenan Allen could face a three-game suspension over a driving-over-the-limit incident in Indianapolis earlier this month.
