***Buy tickets to Thursday Night Football from StubHub here and watch the Colts battle the Texans at NRG Stadium!***
Your Houston Texans are 6-4. The Indianapolis Colts are also 6-4, currently atop the AFC South thanks to their head-to-head victory over Houston in Indianapolis last month. Only one of the two teams playing under the lights tomorrow evening can win the division (no, I don’t think the Titans or Jaguars are a threat this season) and thus secure a home playoff game, so the outcome of this Week 12 contest will go quite a way toward determining which team it’ll be.
While the loser of tomorrow’s tilt on Thursday Night Football at NRG Stadium will still certainly have a good shot at snagging one of the two wild card berths in the AFC Playoffs, the inherent advantages of being the third or fourth seed in the conference are clear. Even then, nothing is given, as we see week after week in the NFL when supposedly lesser teams beat allegedly superior opponents.
Speaking of opponents, beyond tomorrow, the Texans’ remaining schedule looks like this:
- Patriots (Sunday Night Football)
- Broncos
- @ Titans
- @ Buccaneers
- Titans
The Colts’ remaining schedule reads:
This week’s intradivisional clash may not have the national appeal of last week’s Deshaun Watson versus Lamar Jackson showdown, but it’s got undeniable postseason impact in its own right. Here’s how to make sure you don’t miss a second of the game.
