The Colts hung around with the Jaguars for a while in Week 1, but couldn’t close out in a 31-21 loss. Anthony Richardson finished with 223 passing yards, one passing touchdown, one rushing touchdown, and an interception. He bruised his knee in the game, and Gardner Minshew finished this one for the Colts.
The Texans struggled against the Ravens in a 25-9 loss, managing three field goals. CJ Stroud went 28-for-44 for 242 yards. He didn’t throw any interceptions, but he did lose a fumble.
The Colts looked like a more competitive team in Week 1, especially as they faced a talented offense in the Jags. If Richardson is healthy in Week 2, the Colts should be able to cover here.
Pick: Colts -1
