NFL PICKS WEEK 5 THURSDAY NIGHT 2015

@HOU -4 vs IND (41)

Projected: HOU 24 IND 17 (41)

(OFF)

I remember an episode of Seinfeld in which Jerry and George pitch their pilot to NBC. 

The Network head asks why anyone would watch a show about nothing. 

George replies; "Because its on TV". 

NBC Executive: "Not yet".

The Colts defense is beat up. I want to see Foster redeem himself and Mallett save his job as QB of the Texans. Bet HOU and the Over and live happily ever after. But - with Cecil Shorts and Nate Washington out - Mallett may have no one to throw to. The colts may just focus on stopping Foster and ruin his comeback for the second game in a row. 

I like Hasselbeck over Luck but he was sacked 3 times vs JAC. He may be on his back half the game - thanks to Watt and Cushing. So I can't even recommend the Over! We have it at (41) same as book.

Gore can Run on HOU. If he buys time for Hasselbeck - he can score on weak Texans Red Zone Defense. We have it 24-17 HOU. But HOU could win by 3 giving 4 and the book laughs all the way to the bank. Off!

Not gonna bet tonight - just because it's on TV.

Note - Almost went with HOU as Hopkins is a top scorer - just concerned they might Double up on him and Foster? Not sure who else would step up with Shorts and Washington out at WR. TE Graham has 3 Rec for 22 yd and 1 TD in 4 games. 

Jeez! Just heard - Hasselbeck bacterial infection not even listed on Injury report
