The Indianapolis Colts are getting ready for a huge game in Week 13. Indianapolis will face off against a surging Houston squad that is threatening their dominance in the AFC South. The Texans have won three games in a row without QB C.J. Stroud to come out of nowhere and compete for the division title.
Houston’s winning streak, paired with Indy’s recent loss to Kansas City, completely changes the complexion of this matchup.
If the Colts can get a win, they will put themselves in great position to lock up the division. But if the Texans can pull off the upset, they will be firmly back in the conversation for the division title.
This is the first time both teams have played this season. Their rematch will take place in Week 18 and could end up deciding the division. Assuming the Colts don’t lock it up first.
But which team will come out on top this Sunday?
Below we will explore three Colts bold predictions ahead of their AFC South showdown against the Texans.

The hype around Daniel Jones has decreased over the past few weeks. But he is still playing some great football for the Colts.
Jones is still on pace for a career season, having already logged 2,840 passing yards with 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions through 11 games played.
The veteran quarterback has been reliable, but some of his turnover issues have popped back up in recent weeks. For example, he threw three interceptions against the Steelers.
I am still confident that Indiana Jones can lead the Colts to some playoff success. But it won’t be a smooth ride to get there, because it never is for him.
I could see Jones reminding the entire NFL both of his brilliance and penchant for making mistakes in Week 13.
This is a bit of an odd prediction, so bear with me here.
I am predicting that Jones “does a little bit of everything” against the Texans.
What does that mean exactly? Well, there will be some good (Jones goes over 250 passing yards, has at least one rushing touchdown) and some bad (Jones is sacked multiple times, throws at least one interception.)
Oddly enough, I think this is the most realistic outcome against a ferocious Texans defense that could force Jones outside of his comfort zone early and often.
Remember when Taylor had 244 rushing yards and three touchdowns against the Falcons just a few weeks ago? What a game.
Taylor did not look quite as dominant against the Chiefs last week, but that is to be expected.
Indy did not go away from the running game against Kansas City. However, it was less efficient than normal. I believe that game revealed just how important explosive running plays are to the Colts’...
