Colts QB Anthony Richardson managed only 4 games last year before suffering a season ending injury. He went 2-2 in those games but the Colts ended with a winning record with Gardner Minshew as starting QB for the remainder of the season which gives weight to the rest of the team being at a pretty good level.
CJ Stroud led the Texans to a Division title last season before losing out in the Divisional Round to the Ravens. He was one of the best QB’s in football despite his young age and inexperience at the top level. With improvements being made around him and another off-season under his belt expect him to come out and start dominating opponents.
My tip here is the Texans to get out to a comfortable lead in the first half and then use the run game to drag out the time. With Stroud only passing for 246yds in their Week 17 victory last season I am taking the Under for his Passing Yards.
- Indianapolis had a 4-5 record at Lucas Oil Field last season.
- The Texans averaged 245 Passing Yards per game in 2023, 7th most of any team in the league.
- The Colts Pass Defence were ranked 16th in the NFL, giving up 226 yds per game.
- Nico Collins scored a TD in both matchups against the Colts last season.

*2023/2024 Stats
The Texans went 3-1 in the Pre-season, losing the Hall of Fame game against the Bears before coming out and taking the next 3 straight against the Steelers, Giants and Rams. Tim Boyle and Case Keenum had the majority of plays in the Pre-Season but all players got a bit of grass time setting them up for a good start to the season.
Houston Texans Team News
The Texans off-season additions were mainly low key. One of the bigger signings though was Defensive Pass Rusher Danielle Hunter on a big contract from the Vikings. They also resigned TE Dalton Schultz who has built a good rapport with QB CJ Stroud.

*2023/2024 Stats
Indiana went 2-1 in their 3 pre-season matchups. The first, a loss in a high scoring contest with the Broncos where all 5 QB’s got a couple plays each. Then on shorter rosters for the two remaining games the Colts got on top of their opponents with opposition totals staying much lower.
Indianapolis Colts Team News
The Colts put the majority of efforts into resigning important players within their system. They are the team ranked 3rd in the NFL for retention of players from last season. The biggest loss for the Colts is RB Zach Moss who signed with the Bengals but with Jonathan Taylor and Trey Sermon 1 and 2 they still look good in this position.
