COLTS at TEXANS

1 p.m., Colts by 9, 45.5

HANK’S HONEYS: No need to overthink this one. It’s a big spread and it should be higher. How are the Texans (3 1 st in rushing yards allowed) going to stop Jonathan Taylor from running through them after they failed to stop him in a 3 1 -3 loss the first time

(1 4 -1 4 5 -2 TDs)? They don’t blitz, the don’t put much pressure on the QB and, with Taylor going off, Carson Wentz should be able to avoid his usual mistakes. Houston didn’t have Tyrod Taylor in the first meeting, but he hasn’t done much for the offense in the three games since his return. The Colts are 4 -1 ATS on the road and have beaten the spread by an average of 1 1 .6 points.

IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Colts and the under.
