Houston is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games against the AFC South and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games against a team with a losing record. The under is 11-4 in Houston’s last 15 road games. Indianapolis is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 January games. The over is 4-1 in Indianapolis’ last 5 games. The under is 11-2 in these two teams last 13 head to head meetings in Indianapolis.
These two teams have not found much success this season and will face off in their last game of the season. Indianapolis has lost six games in a row, with three of their last four coming by 27, 17, and 35 points. Houston had a three game stretch where they were playing well and even got a win against Tennessee, but was absolutely dominated last week by Jacksonville. I am going to take the over in this game, as I think we are going to see both sides play loose and take some shots.
