Tonight's game is going to be quite interesting for the Indianapolis Colts. Andrew Luck is out with an injury and Matt Hasselbeck will be starting QB for the Colts this evening. This might actually be a good thing for the Colts. According to ESPN, Hasselbeck "posted a Total QBR of 63.7 last week vs. Jacksonville, a considerably higher number than Andrew Luck posted in any of his three starts this season (38.7 was his highest of any start)."
The Colts will need to focus on stopping the rush from the Texans' defense, as the Texans have had a rather high sack-per-game average when playing against the Colts. Currently, the Colts only have a 40% chance to win the game according to the ESPN's Football Power Index.
The Houston Texans need to step up their defense, which hasn't been as great since Wade Phillips left the team. They've only forced two turnovers this season, which has them tied for fewest in the entire NFL. The Texans have been struggling defensively this season in several other ways as well, ranging from allowing points off turnovers to takeaways. If the Texans want to improve their chances of a playoff run this season, they really need to focus on their defense.
