The Indianapolis Colts (6-6) will be looking to put a tough loss behind them when they visit the Houston Texans (2-9) at NRG Stadium in Week 13.
The first meeting between these two teams back in Week 6 resulted in a 31-3 routing by the Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium. Running back Jonathan Taylor took 14 carries for 145 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns while Carson Wentz threw for 223 passing yards, two touchdowns and a 127.7 passer rating.
Here are the opening odds for the Week 12 matchup between the Colts and Texans, per Tipico Sportsbook:
| Spread | Moneyline | Total Points | |
| Indianapolis Colts (6-6) | -8.5 | -450 | O 45.5 -112 |
| Houston Texans (2-9) | +8.5 | +330 | U 45.5 -108 |
While the Texans will be competing for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft, the Colts are right in the thick of the AFC playoff hunt. The loss to the Buccaneers in Week 12 didn’t help their cause, but they still have a chance to make a run.
The Colts offense has been humming over the last two months or so. They’ve averaged 31.6 points per game since Week 4 and have hit the 30-point mark in six of their last seven games.
They should be able to take care of business against the Texans even if road matchups in the AFC South can be unpredictable.
