It was all good a week ago. Give or take. The Indianapolis Colts were in the discussion for the best team in football, and they forced their way into that conversation, especially when they were 7 and 1, but even the loss to Pittsburgh wasn't the worst thing of all time because they won in Atlanta, they had a bye week, and then they had the opportunity. Not only to put the Chiefs up against it, and my goodness, imagine if Kansas City had lost that football game to Indianapolis, which they nearly did, but it would have put the Colts on a different level. They'd be sat at 9 and 2, which is where you really need to be to creep into that one seat conversation because Denver and New England just keep on stacking them. But that loss for the Colts. Didn't just take him a pop back from best in the league conversation. It all of a sudden had people staring at the AFC South and go uh oh because the Colts play a red hot Texans team two more times, and, uh, they just keep finding away Jaguars team. 2 more times, out of nowhere we had a scenario where a team favored to win a conference was the shortest division favorite in the conference. It's moved a little bit due to the Ravens loss to Cincinnati, but that's still largely where we are. And if you look at the number today against the Texans, it sure does not look. Like the Colts should be treated as conference favorites. It is only a field goal. Now there are quarterback updates in both directions here. She just Shroud is back, Davis Mills. Did his job. They got 3 wins with Davis Mills. You cannot ask for anything more than that. Things will get. Annoying, probably more than weird if it's a bad day for Stroud, right? But there's a little pressure in that regard. For Daniel Jones, seemingly not 100%, a leg injury we'll get a little more insight from the pro football doc Doctor David Chow later, but you don't love to hear that his lateral movement could be enabled against this football team. That report coming from ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Texans defense is why everyone is enamored with this group right now. So Joe, take me through it. What do you like here, Colts Texans? Well, let's look at the numbers, and Houston from a defensive perspective is playing as good as anybody, right? We saw them step up and just contain Josh Allen. They have won 4 of the last 5 games by an average margin of victory, Kev of 6.2 points per game. And in that run, they beat teams like the Bills. and Niners, but I keep going back to, this is a different team at home than they are on the road and maybe I'm just looking at it early part of the season, but they lost to Seattle. They lost to the Rams early on and they struggle in road environments. They beat up on, on Baltimore, but that was obviously without Lamar Jackson, uh, at the helm. And, and I just have concerns with D'Amico Ryan's as a head coach, these Defensive minded head coaches only I think look at one side of the football and this is where this team, I feel like they opened up the playbook more with Davis Mills than they did with CJ Stroud. Like I, I haven't seen it. I think they've gained confidence. I know the time again, the timing of it is weird, but I expect there to still be, I think there should be aggressiveness with Stroud back in would hope because again, that's, that's why. I actually like in the in the game. I do like Indy in the game and I know Daniel Jones has a, you know, a foot, leg injury that will limit the mobility, but I still believe in Jonathan Taylor. I believe, believe in Styke and and I believe in Pittman and, and Alec Pierce. And I just think that this team playing at home could put up points on Houston. And again, I, I just think they match up well against them. I, I'm gonna lay the three points. I, I, I'm not a big believer in CJ Stroud and this offense big picture. I've seen them being handcuffed at times. Jayden Higgins is good. We interviewed him out in the Super Bowl, nice guy. But again, the consistency outside of Nico Collins and Dalton Schultz is not there with this offense, and I'm not a big believer in Woody Marks and the rushing attack. So give me Jonathan Taylor, give me in the, uh, I think they win it by double digits.
