Houston Texans vs Indianapolis Colts Mon. Nov. 1st 8:30pm EST

The Indianapolis Colts have been arguably one of the best teams in the NFL ever since four-time NFL MVP quarterback Peyton Manning took over under center and as a result they have won the AFC South division title six times in the last seven years and won a Super Bowl title.

Coming into this NFL regular season, the consensus around the league was that the Indianapolis Colts were once again the team to beat in the AFC Conference as they had the same team intact and were motivated to prove that the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints just caught them on a bad day last February. The odds for this matchup are pretty consistent across the many NFL sports betting sites.

Unfortunately, even though Peyton Manning and company are still one of the best teams in the league, they haven’t been able to play with the kind of dominance they had last season and as a result are sitting in third place in the AFC South division behind the first place Tennessee Titans and the second place Houston Texans.

If it weren’t for their Week 1 loss to the division rival Houston Texans, the Indianapolis Colts’ season would be going much differently right now, but in Week 8 they will be in a must win situation as they will be going up against the Houston Texans for the second time this season.

As of right now, the Indianapolis Colts are favored to get some revenge over their division rivals with a -6 point spread. This game will be huge to say the least as it will determine who will be in second place within the AFC South division and quite possibly which of these two teams will be competing for the division title and which team will have to compete for the AFC Wildcard.
