Houston continued its amazing run in winning its ninth in a row with a 29-13 victory over Cleveland as the Texans' defense harassed Baker Mayfield all day and picked off three of his passes. The Browns were held to 31 rushing yards on only nine carries as J.J. Watt, Jadeveon Clowney and company dominated in the trenches. Deshaun Watson finished 22-of-31 for 224 yards with no interceptions and Lamar Miller ran for 103 yards on 5.4 yards per carry. The game went UNDER by 5.5 points for the fifth UNDER in Houston's last eight games. Indianapolis has gone UNDER six times in a row against teams with winning records and the Colts are 21-5 UNDER their last 26 games in December. The Colts managed only 265 yards of offense in their stunning 6-0 loss at Jacksonville although Andrew Luck did throw it 52 times and completed 33 for 248 yards and an interception. The Texans won the first meeting 37-34 in overtime, but the three previous meetings had gone UNDER. The Colts have stayed UNDER their last three games and they are 14-6 UNDER their last 20 games dating to last season. Houston is 11-4 UNDER over its last 15 versus the AFC and 22-8 UNDER its last 30 December games. The Texans have allowed an average of only 15.9 points since that September game against the Colts. Look for Houston to keep on rolling, so take the Texans on the moneyline and the UNDER.
