Houston Texans vs. Indianapolis Colts Odds
Houston Texans vs. Indianapolis Colts odds opened at Colts -9 ½.
One of only two remaining undefeated teams in the NFL, the Indianapolis Colts face the Houston Texans this week, now listed as 8.5-point home favorites with an Over/Under of 48.5 at Sportsbetting.com.
However, the Colts' infirmary is pretty full right now.
Defensive backs Bob Sanders, Marlin Jackson and Kelvin Hayden are all licking wounds with Sanders (torn biceps tendon) and Jackson (torn ACL) gone for the season, according to ESPN.
Hayden has a knee injury and will be out a month and WR Anthony Gonzalez had a setback in his recovery from a knee injury and could miss an additional three weeks.
The Colts are riding a hot home streak against the Texans, going 9-1 SU over the last 10 head-to-heads, but there's an asterisk in that Indianapolis has only covered the current 8 ½ point spread once in the last five meetings between these two teams.
