USA Today: Texans

Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports

USA Today seems to be keen on the Texans’ chances to take the crown of the AFC South back. Six out of their seven choosers have Houston winning at home, none in a blowout fashion, with the largest margin of victory being five points.

  • Jarrett Bell: Texans, 24-21
  • Nate Davis: Texans, 28-24
  • Jori Epstein: Texans, 27-21
  • Mike Jones: Texans, 27-25
  • Mike Middlehurst-Schwartz: 27-26
  • Lorenzo Reyes: 27-22
  • Tom Schad: 28-22

By the looks of USA Today picks, Thursday’s short-week game is going to be a thriller that goes down to the waning moments — as many of the Texans vs. Colts games as of late have been.
