The Colts play the Texans for the first time this season on Sunday. It will be a battle for first place in the division. Here are the betting lines for the game.

The Colts are playing their rivals from the AFC South on Sunday. They’re playing the Texans, the same team that they beat in the playoffs a year ago. Both teams are riding high off wins against the Chiefs. The betting lines reflect that as well.

Right now, the consensus line for this game has the Colts favored by 1 point (courtesy of the Action Network). A line like that indicates that it’s pretty much a pick em’, and the Colts are a favorite only because they are the home team this weekend.

If you are a Colts fan, chances are you’ll take the Colts in this one. If you’re a Texans fan, you’ll take them. That’s how close of a game this is. Most of their games recently in the regular season have been close. This one shouldn’t be any different.

The over/under for this game is a 47.5. That seems incredibly low for this game based on how both offenses have played recently. Houston has scored 84 points over the last two games by themselves. This has over written all over it.
