Houston is struggling, which makes this Colts Texans point spread a little bit peculiar. Indianapolis, with its 5-2 record, comes into this game as a +2 road dog against a team that is 2-5 (1-6 Against The Spread). The public also loves Indianapolis, backing them at an 80 percent clip. So what gives?
It might have something to do with the home team being 6-0 in this series and having won 8 of the last 10. The Colts, however, have won 7 of the last 9 in this series. Oh, and did we mention they have won 18 of the last 22 meetings?
It is also noteworthy that the Texans come into this game having lost five consecutive games overall.
Undrafted free agent Case Keenum will earn his second career start for Houston even with Matt Schaub now healthy. There are backfield injuries to Arian Foster (hamstring) and Ben Tate (ribs), which resulted in the signing of three new running backs in recent days. Houston's top-ranked defense (267.7 yards per game) lost star linebacker Brian Cushing (knee) for the season in the last game.
