NFL 2021 Week 6: Texans vs. Colts
Two AFC Souths rivals go head-to-head this week, with the Texans and Colts both on the search for their second win of the season.
Both sides have given their fans glimpses of positivity of late, with Davis Mills and Carson Wentz impressing as the teams' respective QBs.
Now, as they both look to get a run of wins started, the pressure is mostly on the Colts who enter the game as around 10-point favorites.

🔑 Colts' keys to success
Find the right balance between the run game and pass game again. Last week's defeat to the Ravens saw big games from both Jonathan Taylor and Carson Wentz. Usually when those two put up the stats they did, you'd expect Indianapolis to win, but alas, Lamar Jackson turned it on and stole the win.
If the RB and QB can have similar games again this week, they will get the dub.
🔥 Best Colts Bet
Jonathan Taylor is running HOT. The second year pro has scored TDs in each of the last two weeks and there's seemingly no reason to bet against him right now. He's in form both rushing and receiving and will find a way to score against the Texans this week.
We're taking a bit of juice with these odds, so the play could be to add it to a same game parlay, whilst placing a single bet to score 2+.
PICK: Jonathan Taylor anytime TD (-200 with BetRivers)
