Top Week 1 NFL picks
After simulating every game 10,000 times, the model is high on the Indianapolis Colts to cover as eight-point road favorites against the Houston Texans. Indianapolis enters 2022 off a 9-8 campaign in which the team lost back-to-back games to end the season and barely missed the playoffs. Meanwhile Houston, playing without quarterback Deshaun Watson, went 4-13 in a rebuilding year.
The Colts face a Texans offense that was punch-less last season. Houston ranked last in the league in total offense (278.1 yards a game) and rushing offense (83.6) and third-to-last in scoring offense (16.5). In the two matchups between the teams last season, the Texans managed a combined three points. See which other NFL parlay picks to make here.
