The line on the Colts-Texans game was Houston -1 to -1.5 and was relatively balanced.
Indiana has won three of the last five in this series, but it has been competitive over the last ten.
From Seth Walder: “Saturday’s playoff game in Houston should yield quite the battle along Andrew Luck's blindside. Jadeveon Clowney finished with the second-best pass rush win rate (35%) among DE/OLBs this season, but will mostly be taking on Colts LT Anthony Castonzo, who had the seventh-best pass block win rate (87%) among OTs. Meanwhile J.J. Watt (25%) ought to have the easier matchup against rookie RT Braden Smith, who had an 81% PBWR (a little above average but not as good as Castonzo). PRWR and PBWR are ESPN metrics powered by NFL Next Gen Stats.”

From ESPN.com: “The Texans are strong at quarterback, strong on defense and have home-field advantage for this game, which was enough for all three insiders to pick them even though they like what Indy has going.”
