Gameday: Colts @ Texans

Today marks a return by the Colts to the place where they last lost a game: Houston's Reliant Stadium. Adding to the importance of this game is the fact that Houston is 2-0 and tied for the AFC South lead with the Colts. Some in the media have taken to calling this game Houston's Super Bowl. It seems that some of Houston's players have latched on to that sentiment.

Speaking for so many Houstonians, safety Michael Boulware calls today's AFC South clash with the Indianapolis Colts in Reliant Stadium "our Super Bowl.''

Generally I would say to act like you have been there before, but clearly this is rarefied air when it comes to the Texans. They have several firsts in this game. First home game where they come in with a winning record, first game where they can obtain sole possession of the division lead, and an opportunity for the franchise's first five game winning streak.

There is a lot riding on this game for the Texans today. I think they may be over matched today against the Colts however. Andre Johnson is out, and he accounts for something like 65% of their offense. Add in the two injured running backs and you a situation that may be too difficult for Matt Schaub to overcome. It should be a great game, but I look to see the Colts prevail in a usual AFC South slugfest.
