The robots are taking over. Okay, maybe not — yet. However, technology, with the boom of analytics, does have a say in the Texans vs. Colts divisional tilt, with the home-field team taking home victory mid-week. Here is what the analytics say about the Texans’ predicted win.

Our model gives the Texans a 65% chance to win at home on Thursday night and avenge a 30-23 loss from earlier this season in Indianapolis… Should Deshaun Watson & Co. win, they will have a 71% chance to win the division while the Colts will fall to just 22% to win the AFC South and only 36% to make it to the tournament.

As PFF notes, a Texans win would also give the Texans full control of the AFC South. A loss could doom them.
