Texans vs. Colts
Anthony Richardson only played in four games last season. One was against the Texans. He scored two touchdowns on the ground on three attempts for 35 yards and only had 56 yards through the air. Gardner Minshew replaced Richardson in the second quarter after he suffered an injury, and the Colts won the game. Houston allowed the most (nine) rushing touchdowns to quarterbacks last year. Richardson is a smash play at +800, with him being the favorite at other sportsbooks at +480.
