00:00To the Colts versus the Texans, this spread sitting at five and a half now.

00:06Some people are feeling like the demise of the Texans are starting to come into play.

00:11I think it's a little dramatic, 45 and a half on the total.

00:14But what's your gauge when it comes to the Colts taking on the Texas and Texans territory?

00:18This is a rematch of what we saw in week one, where Joe Mixon ran for over 100 yards.

00:26And I think that's what we should be seeing, especially with Joe Mixon looking great, back

00:32at full health.

00:33A couple of weeks ago against the Pats, last week against the Packers.

00:38I also think this needs to be a big, not just a bounce back week, but like a confidence

00:42building week for CJ Shroud, 86 yards against the Packers, like did not look good.

00:47Granted, the offensive line was an absolute mess in terms of pass protection for the Texans.

00:53If you're watching the game, you look at some type of recap or whatever it might be

00:56on Sunday night or Monday, like you saw that the Texans offensive line was terrible.

01:02So this has to be a building game for the Texans.

01:05Yes, they still have a solid record.

01:07I think they should be winning this game, whether they cover, I'm slightly unsure of.

01:11But this needs to be a game where the Texans show that they have one of the best young

01:14quarterbacks in the league.

01:15They have a running game.

01:16They can mix in Tank Dell, they can mix in Stephon Diggs, they can get Dalton Schultz

01:20involved if need be.

01:22They have to build and win this game.

01:23So I'd like the Texans to win.

01:25I don't necessarily like them to cover.

01:27I think Joe Mixon continues to have a big game, but CJ Shroud needs to be the key of

01:32this offense.

01:33And I'm not saying he needs to throw for $400 and four touchdowns, but he needs to have

01:36a good game.

01:37And, you know, the props aren't posted, but once they are, I'll have a whole lot of interest

01:40in Shroud's numbers.

01:41Oh, beautiful.

01:42And I do think that's a good point, that this is a reset game for them because they had

01:46such a great trajectory going.

01:47Of course, you're going to have some games that throw you for a setback, but to see Shroud

01:51kind of have that bounce back moment, I'm very excited for that because I feel like

01:54he got stronger as the season went on last year.

01:57I think he can match that script and that pace with the weapons that he has thus far

02:00this season.
