Colts vs. Texans: NFL experts predict Week 3 winner

Week 3 is a crucial matchup for the Indianapolis Colts, who have started their season 0-2. Experts are predicting that the Houston Texans are likely to emerge victorious in this game. NFL.com staff unanimously chose Houston as the winner, citing the Texans' potential to dominate the Colts' one-dimensional offense. Jonathan Taylor, the Colts' star running back, is admittedly talented, but the team is missing a key player in Daniel Jones, who is still recovering from an Achilles tear.

Houston's recent injuries, like the Colts' $114 million field stretcher going down, give the Texans an advantage in terms of resources to stop the Colts' star back. Only one sports analyst, Connor Orr from Sports Illustrated, believes the Colts have a chance to win. Other outlets like CBS Sports, ESPN, and Pro Football Talk also predict a Texans win, with ESPN's Football Power Index (FPI) model giving Houston a 52.8% chance of victory, though by an average of only 0.7 points.

The AFC South division may not be as tough as previously thought, but the Colts are in a precarious position, as a 0-3 record would be difficult to recover from. The Texans appear to be the stronger team to beat in this crucial Week 3 game.
