Texans-Colts Same-Game Parlay Picks (January 6)

Both teams need a win but only one needs some help. Normally the Houston Texans would be in the unenviable position of a way too tight football team forcing their way to victory, but the pressure may fall on Gardner Minshew and his Indianapolis Colts. If Indy wins, they punch their ticket, while the Texans need a win and both the Jaguars and Steelers to fall. Crazier things have certainly happened but just a win tonight on the road isn’t going to be enough. Let’s see where the pressure truly falls as we hit the best same parlay for the Texans-Colts game!

Texans-Colts NFL Same-Game Parlay Picks 

Texans ML

We start with the Texans winning the game. Nothing easier than just coming out on top, no spread, no cover – just win, baby. Having the better QB is the best place to start here. There’s just no comparison when Stroud is on top of his game, which isn’t a knock on Minshew, rather a statement on Stroud’s young career of excellence. There’s also little doubt the Texans can come back, where the Colts might have their fate sealed early if they find themselves down in the first half. Even though the Texans run defense is their strength, turning the Colts into a one dimensional passing team opens a rush for Houston. 

Yes, this is year one for Stroud but he’s been involved in a couple of key trends – like the Texans covering their last seven division road games. If you really like trends then look no further than Indy’s 3-17-1 ATS record in their final game of the season with an equal or greater winning percentage than their opponent. Translation: they stink as home favorites in the final game of the year. Add up all the variables or change in personnel, it’s still the same result.

Devin Singletary Anytime TD (NFL Player Prop)

Stroud should have his way early on in this game as the Texans passing game will open up their rushing attack. While it’s normally the opposite for teams looking to establish the run, Stroud had so much success against Houston’s secondary that it’s impossible to ignore. He’s talented enough to not force bad throws while the offense can adjust or even pivot to the ground game. It won’t take that, as Indy will be scrambling on their heels after a drive – or two – of Stroud going all over the field. The pivot comes in the form of changing up the pace, and that’s where Singletary can shine.

He’s gone three straight games without a score but was a workhorse in two of the last three – each wins. Rolling with the first play as a trend, that Houston eventually wins this game, it’s easier to see a correlation of touches and scoring chances for Singletary. Let the Colts adjust to Houston’s ground game but we bet that it’s going to be too late, at least to keep out Houston’s top back.
