The two most improved teams in the NFL collide with a playoff spot on the line when the Indianapolis Colts host the Houston Texans in a Week 18 game on Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium. One year after having the second worst record in the NFL (3-13-1), Houston (9-7) is in position to return to the playoffs for the first time since the 2019 season. Indianapolis (9-7) also is experiencing a bounce-back year after going 4-12-1 last season. The Texans and Colts are the only two teams this year to have five-plus wins more than last season, and the winner of Saturday’s game will earn a berth in the NFL playoff picture.
Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET. Houston is a two-point favorite in the latest Texans vs. Colts odds while the over/under for total points scored is 47.5.
