The Indianapolis Colts opened as a -7 road favorite in Houston. Gambling911.com had a line of -9.
Indianapolis was set to host the reigning Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Bucs in Week 12. Following a slow star, the Colts have flourished, winning six of their last eight. Their most recent win was one of the most impressive upsets in Week 11, 41-15 at Buffalo.
Jonathan Taylor scored five times against the Bills in that one. He also took over the NFL lead in both yards rushing and touchdowns.
"When J.T. turns on the jets, he's gone," tight end Mo Alie-Cox said of Taylor, who scored on runs of 1, 2, 3 and 10 yards and a 23-yard reception. "Like the one play at the goal line, I'm blocking and I just turn my head and I just see him flying through the air like a superhero."
The Colts have lost to Houston only twice in the last ten meetings of this division rivalry. They have beaten Houston by more than the current spread only three times in the last ten meetings.
