The Colts have beaten the Texans every single time they've played except for once. In their upcoming matchup in Houston against the Texans on Sunday, Indianapolis is favored by 3.5. In their recent matchup in Indy, the Colts were fortunate to win by 3 as Texans kicker Kris Brown missed a field goal to send it into overtime. In five of their last six meetings, the Colts-Texans games have been decided by six points or less. Unlike their previous matchup, the Texans will be missing a key member of their secondary: safety Eugene Wilson broke two toes in his game against the Titans and has been placed on IR. His absence after a preseason injury caused by a Brett Favre-fined low block contributed to the Texan defense's bottom of the league slow start. In general, it is not a good thing to be missing a starting safety when your team is facing Peyton Manning.
Safety Bernard Pollard claims that Wilson has made his transition to the Texans much easier.
Other Texans defensive players who are expected to play but have injuries of unknown severity include linebacker DeMeco Ryans with an ankle injury that kept him out of practice some this week and linebacker Brian Cushing with the same foot injury that has limited his practices for most of the season. Defensive tackle Amobi Okoye missed Thursday and Friday practices with the flu and just got out of the hospital, and though it isn't being acknowledged much by the team, there's speculation that defensive end Mario Williams' shoulder is still bothering him.
Ultimately, the Texans' game plan has more to do with their offense than their defense. They need to keep Manning off the field, and try to get 3's instead of 7's from the Colts.
Of course, the Colts have their own concerns. They put two dozen (!) players on the injury report list, including Manning with a "glute" injury that limited his participation at practice on Wednesday and Thursday.

Peyton Manning is the best quarterback in the game no matter what the weather conditions. Manning will always do what it takes to get it done at the end of the game. If this one is close he will win it for them.
GO PATS
Hey Big Boy. The Pats are cheaters.
During the colts/pats game when after the going for it on 4th and 2 a camera guy on the pats sideline was getting a close up of belicheat face when he was tackled by one of belicheats security guys and this was reported by a reporter a few days later and his comment was "I guess belicheat not a camera fan", YEA RIGHT!!! He was a big camera fan when his boys were taping the Rams walk around practice before the Suberbowl!!! He was a big fan of camera's then!!!
