It’s about time. It’s about time that we see an AFC South rivalry. It’s the very first one of the season, and it will be the stifling Houston Texans defense looking to shut down star Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor. Both sides have also experienced key WR issues with both Nico Collins and Alec Pierce, so there is plenty to consider when coming up with a best bet from our Texans vs. Colts picks for Week 3.

🔥 Texans vs. Colts Predictions for NFL Week 3, Sunday, 9/27

Houston and Indy both had such great expectations to contend for the AFC South title entering the season, especially the former, but are both now sitting at 0-2. That certainly doesn’t spell doom and that all hope is lost, but it does make things interesting when it comes to Texans vs. Colts predictions for Week 3.

We saw Indy force Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs into overtime on Sunday Night Football, which was at least an improvement over the beatdown loss in Week 1 to the Baltimore Ravens. As for Houston, losing back-to-back home games never feels good, even if they came against Josh Allen and Joe Burrow.

The most concerning part was their offense producing just six points against the Cincinnati Bengals, even if we will have to accept improvements on that side of the ball. Of course, a healthy Nico Collins can help remedy some of those issues. That said, they still have offensive line issues to address, so after considering everything, let’s see where we land with a best bet from our top Texans vs. Colts predictions for Week 3.

🏅 Texans vs. Colts Expert Pick: WR Player Props (Use Kalshi To Trade On Anything)

Houston has taken down their division rivals in all four meetings over the past two seasons, but Indy is the team that is 3-1 against the spread in that span. We’re going to opt out of worrying about things on that front and start by sharing the player props we’re leaning towards with our Texans vs. Colts predictions.

They’re focused around the WR concerns, so waiting until closer to kickoff could be the right call. First up - Alec Pierce, who we now know is OUT for multiple weeks. Despite Derek Stingley Jr. and the stingy Houston defense, he went for 132 yards and two TDs with Riley Leonard at QB last year, as well as 78 yards and a TD. That production has to go somewhere, and we’ve already seen Josh Downs cash some Texans vs. Colts picks.

After just one target in an overtime game vs. KC, it was clear that Pierce just wasn’t right. Downs was already getting more involved, most recently with nine targets for seven catches and 72 yards. Now he takes on even more responsibility, and for a guy that Houston wants to have some responsibility, Nico Collins is up next with our Texans vs. Colts predictions.

We took Patrick Mahomes over his passing yards prop vs. Indy on SNF, and he flew over by 166 yards, so a healthy Nico and the Houston passing attack can be in a great spot. The Mahomes line was just wrong after the Colts allowed the second-most passing yards per game last season and the fourth most in Week 1 (304). Having just allowed 382, we love Collins over his yardage prop should he be full go (anything up to 72.5).

He had 98 yards vs. Indy in Week 3 of last season, and for what becomes official from our Texans vs. Colts predictions, keep our NFL expert picks bookmarked so that you can start trading at Kalshi.
