The top two in the AFC South meet on Sunday, as the 5-2 Houston Texans host the 4-3 Indianapolis Colts. The Texans come into the game off the back of a heartbreaking 24-22 loss to Green Bay in Week 7, but still hold a one game advantage at the top of the division. QB CJ Stroud had a rare off day against the Packers, so will be looking to immediately bounce back against one of the Texans' biggest rivals. That could spell trouble for a Colts' side looking to continue a fine run which has seen them win four of their last five. Despite that recent success, big question marks remain over QB Anthony Richardson. Whilst the young signal caller has shown flashes of brilliance, he is completing less than half of his passes and has thrown twice as many interceptions as touchdowns this season. Until he improves his accuracy and consistency, it is hard to see him taking the Colts to the next level.

Our Houston Texans vs Indianapolis Colts Prediction

The Colts have been involved in some thrilling finishes this season, and we think another one could be in store on Sunday. The Texans are not quite playing at their peak, but in CJ Stround and co, they have some elite level talents in their squad. The Colts can't quite match them in terms of individual quality, but coach Shane Steichen has built a highly competitive team that is capable of giving the top teams a tough test. This seems certain to be a close game, so we really like the chances of the Colts covering the spread. Our prediction for Houston Texans vs Indianapolis Colts is: Colts (+5) to win, -110 at FanDuel.
