3 best prop bets for Colts vs Texans in Week 6 rivalry game

1. Michael Pittman Jr. anytime TD (+135)

Pittman had one of the finest games of his young career against Baltimore, recording six catches for 89 yards and a touchdown. The USC product and emerging leader, who hasn’t dropped a pass this season, has recorded games of 68, 89, and 123 yards within the first five contests, albeit without TY Hilton in the lineup.

While Pittman has just under 900 yards in the last two seasons, he has found the end zone just twice in his career. Given his size and dominant game against the Ravens, the Colts should target him often in the red zone if they want to keep their offensive momentum riding high.

Michael Pittman Jr. should find the end zone for the Colts.

Pittman is on the verge of truly breaking out, and considering that he was picked with the second selection of the second round in 2020, the Colts clearly view him as a part of their long-term offensive picture. What better way to confirm that than by giving him the ball frequently against a division rival?

Pittman has shown flashes here and there, but just when it looks like Reich is going to lean on him as the top perimeter player for this team, his targets vanish. Defeating Houston will require Pittman having a big game, and while they have some talent in that backfield, this isn’t the Legion of Boom.
