History tells us that Sunday’s Week 3 game for the Indianapolis Colts is a must-win, following an 0-2 start. Do the NFL experts think the Colts can get the job done against the Houston Texans?Let’s take a look at some Week 3 predictions.NFL.comA clean sweep in favor of the Texans. All five of the NFL.com staff members are picking Houston. Here is why Gennaro Filice likes the Texans in this game:”I anticipate continued success against a one-dimensional Colts offense. Jonathan Taylor’s a stud, no doubt, but he has to be a one-man army with Daniel Jones still seemingly working his way back from last December’s Achilles tear. Add in the fact that Indianapolis’ $114 million field stretcher just hit injured reserve, and Houston can commit additional resources to stopping the Colts’ bell-cow back. Meanwhile, Indy’s defense hasn’t been able to stop anyone, giving up the second-most yards EVER in the first two weeks of a season.”Sports IllustratedOf the eight members of the Monday Morning Quarterback crew, only Connor Orr is picking the Colts to win.CBS SportsTyler Sullivan and David Richards are picking the Colts, while the Texans are getting six votes to win on Sunday.ESPNAnother sweep in favor of the Texans. All three of ESPN’s predictors like Houston to win. ESPN’s FPI model gives the Texans a 52.8% chance of winning on Sunday but only by an average of 0.7 points.Pro Football TalkAnd one last vote for the Texans. Mike Florio has Houston winning 20-10.”It’s not an elimination game, only because the AFC South suddenly doesn’t seem to be poised to become one of the toughest divisions in the league. Still, 0-3 becomes a much more difficult hole to emerge from. The Texans seem to be better equipped to pull it off.”This article originally appeared on Colts Wire: Colts vs. Texans: NFL experts predict Week 3 winner
