Top NFL Picks of Week 1
After faking every game 10,000 times, the model is high on the Indianapolis Colts to cover as eight-point road favorites against the Houston Texans. Indianapolis enters 2022 after a 9-8 campaign in which the team lost consecutive games to end the season and barely missed the playoffs. Meanwhile, Houston, playing without quarterback Deshaun Watson, went 4-13 in a rebuilding year.
The Colts face a Texans offense that was punchless last season. Houston ranked last in the league in total offense (278.1 yards per game) and rushing offense (83.6) and second-last in scoring offense (16.5) . In both of the teams’ meetings last season, the Texans had three combined runs. See what other NFL betting picks to make here.
