Can The Hurting Colts Cover At -8.5?
One of only two remaining undefeated teams in the NFL, the Indianapolis Colts face the Houston Texans this week, listed as 8.5-point home favorites with an Over/Under of 48.5.
However, the Colts’ infirmary is pretty full right now.
Defensive backs Bob Sanders, Marlin Jackson and Kelvin Hayden are all licking wounds with Sanders (torn biceps tendon) and Jackson (torn ACL) gone for the season, according to ESPN.
Hayden has a knee injury and will be out a month and WR Anthony Gonzalez had a setback in his recovery from a knee injury and could miss an additional three weeks.
The Colts are riding a hot home streak against the Texans, going 7-0 SU lifetime.
