Indianapolis Colts home favorites vs. Houston Texans in Week 15

The Indianapolis Colts are the betting favorites in their Week 15 home game vs. the Houston Texans.

The Houston Texans (4-9) visit the Indianapolis Colts (9-4) Sunday of Week 15 for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Here’s a look at the early Texans-Colts betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Texans suffered an embarrassing 36-7 loss at the Chicago Bears in Week 14. Houston, which was a 1-point favorite, fell behind 30-7 by halftime as Chicago QB Mitchell Trubisky threw 3 second-quarter touchdowns. The Texans, whose defense ranks 31st in total yards allowed per game (406.6), gave up 410 yards to the Bears, who rank 28th in total YPG (319.8). Houston QB Deshaun Watson (21 of 30 pass attempts) threw for 219 yards with 1 TD and no interceptions, but he was sacked 6 times. Watson also finished with 38 rushing yards on 7 carries – RB Buddy Howell led the Texans with 42 rushing yards on 11 carries. Houston has lost two in a row and three of five.

The Colts claimed a 44-27 road win at the Las Vegas Raiders as 2.5-point favorites in Week 14. Indianapolis scored on 7 of its first 8 drives with the 9th and final possession ending in victory formation – helping the Over of 52 to easily cash. The Colts, winners in four of their last five, finished with 212 rushing yards, led by rookie RB Jonathan Taylor’s career-best 150 yards and 2 touchdowns on 20 carries. QB Philip Rivers threw for 244 yards and 2 TDs, both to WR T.Y. Hilton, who caught five passes for 86 yards. The defense also scored when S Khari Willis returned an interception 50 yards for a 44-20 lead in the fourth quarter.

The Chicago Bears (5-7) and Houston Texans (4-8) are lined up for a Week 14 Windy City tussle on Sunday. Kickoff at Soldier Field is slated for 1 p.m. ET. Below, we take a look at the early Week 14 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Texans are coming off a 26-20 home loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. With a fumble lost and an interception, Houston finished as a minus-2 in turnover margin. QB Deshaun Watson was also sacked five times, marking the most sacks the Texans have yielded in a single game since September 27. Against the Colts, Watson failed to throw a touchdown pass for the first time since last season (Dec. 21).

The Bears let a late lead slip away against the visiting Lions, as Chicago lost to Detroit, 34-30, on Sunday. RB David Montgomery logged a pair of rushing TDs as part of a 17-carry, 72-yard afternoon. The Bears led the game from the 12:37-mark of the opening quarter until there were 11 seconds remaining in the fourth. The loss marked their third straight at Soldier Field and their sixth straight overall.

Houston Texans slight Thanksgiving Day favorites at Detroit Lions in Week 12

The Houston Texans are the betting favorites in their Week 12 road game at the Detroit Lions.

The Detroit Lions (4-6) host the Houston Texans (3-7) on Thanksgiving Day at Ford Field in Week 12. Kickoff is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET. Here’s a look at the early betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

Houston finally beat a team not named the “Jacksonville Jaguars” when it beat the visiting New England Patriots, 27-20, in Week 11. QB Deshaun Watson balled as he connected on 28 of 37 passes for 344 yards with two touchdowns and zero interceptions, while rushing for a TD, too. The Texans covered the spread as 2.5-point home dogs and the game went Under the 49.5-point total.

Houston’s betting records

  • Against the spread: 3-7
  • Over/Under: 5-5

The Lions put forth an embarrassing effort in a 20-0 Week 11 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Detroit was missing WR Kenny Golladay and RB D’Andre Swift, but Carolina was without its starting quarterback in Teddy Bridgewater. Yet the Panthers had double the first downs (20-10), more than double the total yards (374-185) and sacked QB Matthew Stafford five times.

Detroit was bet up to a 3-point road favorite prior to kickoff and the game fell well short of the 47-point total. The Lions are 37-41-2 in Thanksgiving games and have dropped three consecutive Turkey Day games, including back-to-back losses to the Chicago Bears.

Cleveland Browns slight home favorites vs. Houston Texans in Week 10

The Houston Texans are road underdogs at the Cleveland Browns in their Week 10 game.

The Cleveland Browns (5-3) host the Houston Texans (2-6) in Week 10 Sunday at 1 p.m. ET in FirstEnergy Stadium. Here’s a look at the early betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

Houston held off a QB Jake Luton-led Jacksonville Jaguars to win 27-25, coming out of its bye in Week 9. QB Deshaun Watson did just enough for the Texans to win—completing 19 of 32 passes for 281 yards with two touchdowns, and rushing for 50 yards. Both of Houston’s wins this season came against the now 1-7 Jaguars.

Houston’s betting records: 

  • Against the spread: 1-7 ATS
  • Over/Under: 5-3 O/U

QB Baker Mayfield’s game status is up in the air after he tested positive for COVID-19 during Cleveland’s bye week. Heading into its bye, Cleveland lost 16-6 to the Las Vegas Raiders in a game completely dominated by windy weather conditions.

The Browns have been led by their rushing attack, which is fifth in both total yards and yards per rush. As of its halfway point, Cleveland would technically be the eighth-seed in the AFC, but it does have the same record as the second and third wild card teams (Raiders and Miami Dolphins) and the Indianapolis Colts.

Cleveland’s betting records: 

  • Against the spread: 3-5 ATS
  • Over/Under: 5-3 O/U
