Indianapolis Colts vs Houston Texans Prediction
This game features two of the most exciting young quarterbacks in the league. And the outcome of the matchup will likely be decided by those two as well.
As exciting as Anthony Richardson was last season, it's hard not to favor C.J. Stroud and his stable of elite weapons. He'll be throwing to Nico Collins, Tank Dell, and the recently-acquired Stefon Diggs. Those three wideouts combined for 3,189 yards last season, and that passing attack could spell trouble for Indianapolis.
Last season, Indianapolis was a bottom-12 team when it came to generating pressure. And their secondary is made up of young or unproven players who could struggle against Houston's elite WR trio. If Stroud has time, he should be able to pick apart this secondary.
