I say Texans straight up. Dallas misses that FG last week, would the line be for the home dogs??? NO.............

Texans, keep your 3 points, not gonna need 'em........ 

  I'm going HOUSTON +3

QUAD... Why the cuffs Brother?  What did you do?

What your missing is Houston has Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Colts have Luck. 90% of the time, the public is going to favor the better QB. I think the public happens to be right in this one. It's much easier to pass after a short week, than it is to run. If Houston covers, they'll need a few TO's. It would probably be wise to wait til close to kick off if you like Hou. You may be able to get 3.5. I don't bet spreads of less than 4, so I think Colts ML is the $$.

It's easier to pass than run after a short week? Where is the data to support that premise?

I gotta be honest but whatever the consensus is on these threads the opposite seems to happen on covers- prolly due to a lot of broke sport bettors who have nothing better to do but give their bad picks that got them broke in the first place...

The sample size of Thursday night games is too small too make a viable analysis. My statement was based on logic. There is data that says RB's are injured 3x more often than WRs. They take the most punishment and require the most recovery time. If you decrease recovery time, you decrease his performance capacity. QB/WR/TE may not be hit in the previous game. A RB is guaranteed to be hit a min 15-30x. There are lots of articles that quote players complaining about Thurs games…Read some.

you can tell from the posts, that its mostly, nickle and dimers', most likely using an online book.. The big hitters don't post, or even refer to sites.... It's comparing a Kia owner to a Lexus owner. that is also why you see Lexus and financial planning ads on the prime time Tv games. they don't advertise to the penniless, 18-30 year old fantasy players..

Ok lets see... since week 1 on Thursday Nite Football only one underdog has covered and that was the NY Giants against Washington and the Giants were on the road that game. Other than that all the favorites have covered each week. Its screaming home underdog tonite because none have won yet and alot of money is on Indy tonite. Vegas has been giving you gifts for this set up right here with a divisional first place game on the line. I believe Houston+3 is the safest play here. They may win the game straight up in the home underdog spot! Good luck to you all!

-Divisional game with sole possession up for grabs
-Colts seeking 10th straight Thursday victory,7 have come on the road.
-Home team won 4 of 5 Thursday matchups this year.
-Colts won 3 straight vs Texans
- Luck, hasn't thrown a touchdown but has run for 3 while going 2-0 on Thursday nights.

Colts -3.0

Like the Colts here, I feel as though the spread should be a bid bigger, hoping this one isn't a trap... never the less, colts and the over seems like the only bet, glta

Obviously all of 'the public' is not on Indy, if that were the case then I would not have been able to just lock it in @ -2.5 on both of my sites without buying the hook. 

Just b/c you see the covers consensus pick favorite, doesn't necessarily mean that  the 'betting public' is all over it. 

Indy has big Freeman back as of this past week, should help them slow down the run and possibly get to the Shiztpatrick for the sack attack...

Colts -2.5 ....... BOL gang

I also scouted pro ball for 28 years.  Learn football, develop angles, mix in some gut feel, and dont make stupid plays like these idiots who laid 21 points with BYU a couple of weeks ago when they lost straight up. or those who took an unproven perenially choking cinci team with an average qb on the road against new england.  Follow those steps and youll be fine.  And take Indy -2.5 tomorrow.

It doesn't. The trends dont have any bearing on this game at all in the way teams prepare. I was just saying ATS trends are interesting to look at and how one team seems to have a favorable outcome despite a different year with a different cast of players if by some dumb superstitious luck. Like the New York Giants beating the Patriots twice in the Super Bowl for example. 4 years apart. Same scenario. Same outcome. 
Sip on that plus money honey!

Not over thinking this one, Colts on a roll and are the better team !  Under as well, looking for a low scoring game ......

TY Hilton (Colts) Total Receiving Yards Over 75.5.  Hilton averaged 90 plus receiving yards vs Houston last year and is playing outstanding football these days.  Expecting a big night from him.

So the way I see it, its Andrew Luck vs. the Texans D...

Texans D has allowed the fifth most yds/gm this season, but also have the second best ppg allowed...something's gotta give here

Luck is #1 in passing yards and TD passes...this is where the edge is!

Indy -3

Let's see here. 
Andrew Luck A+ vs houston defense at home A+= even
Fitzpatrick b vs Indy defense b= even
WR both team about the same.= even
Indy runners= B-
Houston runners= A

Edge Houston 

Running game possibly with this short week of rest. Burning the clock= Under

Houston for a 3 units, under for the large.
