NFL Underdog Pick Week 15
December 18th 2015 - Special K
Houston Texans (+2) at Indianapolis
Colts
Last week I took the Colts simply because of their dominance against teams in
their division. I knew Jacksonville was the better team coming into the football
game but I simply took the Colts based on historical trends. Here we are again
this week. The Texans have never won a football game in Indianapolis.
Well, I have learned from my mistakes. For one, it must have been a huge letdown
for the Colts to hear that Andrew Luck was ruled out this week. It is by far
their biggest game of the year. Second, when your gimpy 40 year old backup
quarterback says he is still having a hard time breathing as of Thursday, that
isn't a good sign either. One solid hit from Watt and Hasselbeck might be headed
into retirement.
On the Houston side, I actually prefer TJ Yates over Hoyer at QB. He makes much
better decisions and I like the way Yates constantly targets his best side
receiver DeAndre Hopkins. Hopkins is always open. To coach O'Brien the losing
streak in Indy doesn't matter one bit. I agree.
