The Houston Texans are 0-6 SU and 3-3 ATS over their last six road games. The Texans close out their regular season on the road this Sunday with a game against the Indianapolis Colts.
- The Colts are 7-17 ATS in their last 24 games in Week 17.
- The Texans are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games vs divisional opponents.
- The total has gone UNDER in 13 of the Colts’ last 15 games against their division at home.
With Deshaun Watson and Tom Savage both sidelined with injuries, the Texans were forced to use both T.J. Yates and Taylor Heinicke in last Monday’s disastrous 34-6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Houston is now 0-4 SU and ATS over its last four games and has been outscored 129-42 over that stretch. There is some hope for the Texans in 2018 if Watson is able to return healthy, but this team is clearly lost without him.
The Colts know all about being lost without their star quarterback. Indianapolis has marched along to a 3-12 SU and 7-8 ATS record without Andrew Luck under center and is in the midst of an 0-6 SU and 2-4 ATS slump. Indianapolis has historically fared well in this rivalry with a 24-7 SU record in its last 31 games against Houston. The Colts are also 15-5 SU in their last 20 home games against teams with losing records.
