BetAnySports’ NFL Pick of the Week- Week 6: Indianapolis Colts vs. Houston Texans – Thursday, Oct. 9

Indianapolis Colts vs. Houston Texans – Thursday, Oct. 9


BAS’ current line: Colts -2 1/2 and the total is sitting at 46


Thursday Night Football in Week 6 of the NFL season will feature a
battle for the top spot in the AFC South between the Indianapolis Colts
and the Houston Texans. Both teams come in with straight-up 3-2 records
and BetAnySports has opened the Colts as slight 2.5-point road favorites
for this game. The total has been set at 46.


The Colts have overcome a slow 0-2 start with three-straight
victories by a combined score of 105-47, but they had to work for last
Sunday’s win in a 20-13 grinder against Baltimore as 2.5-point favorites
at home. The total stayed UNDER the 49.5-point closing line on BetAnySports
NFL betting odds after going OVER in their first four games.
Indianapolis is now a profitable 4-1 against the spread this season.


The one constant with this team regardless of the final score on the
board has been third-year quarterback Andrew Luck’s ability to move the
ball down the field through the air and throw touchdowns. He has already
passed for 1,617 yards and 14 touchdowns and the Colts’ offense as a
whole is ranked second in the NFL in both yards (439.6) and points
(31.2) per game.


The Texans jumped out of the gate with three victories both SU and
ATS in their first four outings to eclipse last season’s two-game win
total, but they are coming off a tough 20-17 overtime loss to Dallas as
five-point road underdogs in Week 5. They are also 4-1 ATS in their
first five games and the total has stayed UNDER in three of those
contests.


If Houston is going to climb back on top of the division after last
season’s hard fall it will be behind a defense that is ranked fourth in
the NFL in points allowed. This unit is giving-up an average of 17.4
points a game overall and just 11.5 points at home this season. JJ Watt
has been a force so far and he was recently named the NFL Defensive
Player of the Month in September.


The Colts are 20-4 SU in their last 24 games against Houston, but
they have covered in just two of their last eight road games against
their division rivals. The total in this matchup has gone OVER in seven
of the last nine meetings in Houston. I am sticking with the home team
once again in this AFC South showdown as the Texans cover with the
2.5-points on BetAnySports’ current betting odds.

NFL Odds: Top Rookie Clowney Gives Houston a Much Needed Boost

So your Super Bowl pick didn’t pan out last season, join the club.
Still, that doesn’t mean that all hope is lost for 2014. In fact, fresh
off of the annual entry draft, clubs throughout the professional
football ranks are reevaluating their NFL odds. It’s a good time, for
example, to be the Houston Texans.





Bet on football at Bovada and get a free 50% bonus.





With Jadeveon Clowney now in the mix alongside J.J. Watt, the Texans
boast a nightmarish defensive unit that could very well change the tide
of the AFC South. For that reason, despite their two victories in 2013,
Houston has 40/1 odds of winning Super Bowl XLIX.





Clowney himself, the South Carolina Gamecock terror, has 2/1 odds of
winning the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award next season, and an
over/under sack total set at 9 – not bad for a first year linebacker.





Will the 6’5″ wrecking ball give new life into a franchise coming off
of an uncharacteristic down year? Bet on the NFL rookie class, or the
Super Bowl outright, if you think you know the answer.

NFL Wildcard Preview: Cincinnati Bengals vs. Houston Texans

The fans at Reliant Stadium will be treated to a game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Houston Texans when they take their seats on Saturday.

Oddsmakers currently have the Texans listed as 4-point favorites versus the Bengals, while the game's total is sitting at 38.

Cincinnati lost its last outing, a 24-16 result against the Ravens on January 1. The Bengals failed to cover in that game as a 2.5-point underdog, while the 40 combined points took the game OVER the total.

The Texans were a 23-22 loser in their most recent outing at home against the Titans. They covered the 1.5?point spread as underdogs, while the total score (45) made winners of OVER bettors.

Team records: Cincinnati: 9-7 SU, 8-6-2 ATS Houston: 10-6 SU, 11-5 ATS

NFL Wildcard Preview: Cincinnati Bengals vs. Houston Texans

Point spread: Baltimore -7.5

Over/Under: 45

The Houston Texans head east this week for a Sunday afternoon showdown with the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium in an AFC tilt between two division-leading teams. Game time is set for a 4:05 (p.m.) start and it will be broadcast regionally on CBS.

Houston will be looking to bounce back from a25-20 loss to Oakland as a 4.5-point home favorite in a game it let slip away down the stretch. The Texans are now 3-2 both straight-up and against the spread and tied with Tennessee atop the AFC South. The total stayed ?under? the 48.5-point line against the Raiders and has now stayed ?under? in four of five their games this season.

The main concern for this team is a rash of injuries to some of its best players on both sides of the ball. Linebacker Mario Williams has been lost for the season with a torn muscle in his chest and wide receiver Andre Johnson remains doubtful with a strained hamstring. Quarterback Matt Schaub is also a bit nicked-up but should be ready to go by Sunday.

Baltimore should be well-rested and raring to go after coming off a bye. It went into its bye week with a huge 34-17 win over the New York Jets as a five-point home favorite to run its record to 3-1 SU and ATS. The total has gone ?over? in all four of its games.

The Ravens have vaulted to the top of the AFC North behind an offense that is ranked sixth in the NFL in scoring with an average of 29.8 points a game to go along with a defense that is ranked first in points allowed; giving up an average of just 14.2 points a game. Cornerback Jimmy Smith is still out with an ankle injury, but the Ravens should get wide receiver Lee Evans back after missing two games with an ankle injury of his own.

The Texans are 1-5 ATS in their last six games as road underdogs and the total has gone ?over? in five of their last seven road games. The Ravens are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a bye week and 4-1 ATS in their last five games as favorites. The total has gone ?over? in three of their last four home games.

This game is shaping-up as a seven-point Baltimore victory, so grab the Texans and the half-point to squeeze out a win ATS.
