Our picks, best bets

Pick against the spread: Colts -3

This game is a rematch from Week 1 that set the tone for some poor seasons for each team. They tied 20-20 in the season opener and matchup for their second divisional game in the season finale. The Colts have gone 1-9 in their last 10 games. Injuries have been hard to overcome, but they should have the advantage in this game. If Houston wins and the Chicago Bears lose, the Texans would lose the projected No. 1 overall draft pick in next year's draft. Indy should cover, as Houston needs to find a way to lose in this game.

Over/under: Under 37.5

These teams combined for 40 when they were both healthy in Week 1. Now the Colts will have Sam Ehlinger under center and no Jonathan Taylor. Indianapolis has scored 10 points, or fewer, in back-to-back games, and the Texans are coming off a three-point outing last week.

Player prop: TBD
