The Indianapolis Colts (3-2) and Houston Texans (4-2) will be battling it out Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium to see which team holds the top spot in the AFC South.
The Colts are the slightest of favorites over the Texans at home in what everyone is expecting to be a close battle that comes down to the final minutes.
Here’s how some of the experts around the league see the matchup shaping up:

It’s not a surprise that the picks are a near-perfect split. Both the Colts and Texans are coming off of upset wins over the Kansas City Chiefs on the road. The Colts had their bye in Week 6, but the last game they played resulted in the primetime win.
It should be an exciting matchup as the top two teams in the division and the conference square off at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday.
