The Houston Texans are still the underdogs one day before their away game against the Indianapolis Cots this Sunday.
The experts in Las Vegas still are believers in the Houston Texans as they are set to face the Indianapolis Colts in their Week 4 AFC South game. The Las Vegas experts must not have a lot of faith in the Colts either, being they are just one-point favorites against a winless Texans team.
OddsShark.com has Bovada and Intertops as the two sources for the Texans at Colts with the Colts being the -1 favorite over the Texans. This type of odds making isn’t a guarantee for either team to win or lose, which means taking a big step back in the AFC South as well, as both team still have questions that need to be answered.
As for the rest of the AFC South, the Tennessee Titans are three-point underdogs in their home game against the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, and the Jacksonville Jaguars are nine-point favorites in their home game against the New York Jets.
Back to the Texans at the Colts game, the defense of Indianapolis could cause a lot of issues for the offensive line of Houston. The fact is the Texans have had major issues stopping the pass rush with quarterback Deshaun Watson being sacked 10 times this season, including three times last Sunday against the New York Giants. Also running back Lamar Miller had just 10 yards rushing last week on 10 carries, as he’s progressively decreased his success rate the past couple seasons, though the run blocking of the Texans was suspect last weekend as well.
The defense of the Colts has collected 10 sacks this season with Darius Leonard and Marcus Hunt each having three sacks this season to lead the team, so if the Texans want any sort of shot of winning this game, they must stop the pass rush of the Colts in Week 4.
