The Houston Texans look to keep their playoff hopes alive as they conclude their season with a critical match against the Indianapolis Colts this Sunday afternoon. Scheduled for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff at NRG Stadium, the game will be broadcast on CBS and available for streaming on various platforms.
With an 11-5 record, the Texans have already secured a spot in the AFC playoffs but still have a chance to clinch the AFC South title. To do so, they need to win against the Colts while hoping that the Jacksonville Jaguars lose their game against the Tennessee Titans. Houston enters this game as a 10.5-point favorite, aiming to extend their winning streak to nine games. This impressive run started with a victory over the Jaguars in Week 10 and continued with a narrow win against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 17.
On the other side, the Colts find themselves on the outside looking in regarding playoff contention after a promising start to the season. They began with a strong 7-1 record but have since struggled, losing their last six games to finish at 8-8. The team has been hampered by the loss of starting quarterback Daniel Jones during a mid-season slump, leading to their current position. As they prepare for this matchup, the Colts are eager to finish the season above .500, with veteran quarterback Philip Rivers seeking to secure his first victory since his unexpected return to the NFL.
