Go to Week 18 NFL Picks – Sunday Games





Indianapolis Colts (10-6) at Houston Texans (11-5)
Line: Texans by 2. Total: 48.

Walt’s Projected Line: Texans -2.
Saturday, Jan. 5, 4:35 ET

The Game. Edge: Colts.

WEEK 17 RECAP: The final week of the regular season went well. Unfortunately, it could’ve been a four-figure day. One of my top plays, Giants -6, was a loser because I assumed the Cowboys would sit their starters. That was the right thing to do, of course. Instead, they played everyone but Ezekiel Elliott and Zack Martin the entire game. Leighton Vander Esch even grabbed at his knee in pain at one point, yet Jason Garrett kept him out there, determined to beat the Giants for no reason. Despite this, the Giants almost covered. They were up seven before Prescott threw up a prayer into the end zone on a late fourth-and-15, and Cole Beasley got one knee down on the ground before falling out of play. Four-unit loss. Instead of going 10-5-1, +$1,670, I finished 9-6-1 +$790 because of Garrett’s utter stupidity and a miraculous catch.

I feel like I’ve handicapped the NFL extremely well the past few weeks. We’ve had some terrible luck in a few games, so I’m optimistic about this transitioning into 2019.

But first, the playoffs. My Week 18 NFL Picks will be posted all day Tuesday. Follow @walterfootball for updates.

My overrated-underrated feature was posted in this spot the past couple of years. I thought it would be better if there was less clutter on this page, so I set up a new NFL Overrated and Underrated Teams page that will be updated every Monday. I have three overrated and underrated teams listed there, and some may shock you!

INDIANAPOLIS OFFENSE: The strength of the Houston roster is obviously the defensive line, as J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney have made life miserable for teams with poor offensive lines and horrible and/or inexperienced quarterbacks. Of the Texans’ convincing victories this year – Jaguars twice, Dolphins, Titans, Browns – they managed to battle opponents that had bad blocking and awful and/or inexperienced signal-callers starting for them.

The Colts don’t have either of those two items. Andrew Luck has improved as the season has progressed, and he’s protected by one of the top offensive lines in the NFL. The front kept Luck clean in the previous matchup against the Texans, and he was able to shred the opposing defense with ease. He went 27-of-41 for 399 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in that game.

I believe Luck could have a similar stat line versus the Texans in the rubber match. Houston’s defense struggles to defend speedy receivers and tight ends, and Luck’s top two weapons happen to play those positions. Luck will connect early and often with T.Y. Hilton and Eric Ebron. He won’t have much help from the running game, as the Texans are stellar versus the rush, but Marlon Mack barely did anything in the previous matchup, and yet Indianapolis still won convincingly.

HOUSTON OFFENSE: I’ve called the Texans overrated all year. It saddens me, as I have a 22/1 ticket on them to win the Super Bowl, but I believe I’ll be able to light that on fire after this game. The reason for my pessimism, as I’ve said countless times, is Houston’s offensive line.

The Texans cannot block. Period. Of the 12 teams to make the playoffs, they easily have the worst offensive line. Even the Seahawks, whose blocking unit has been widely criticized, can protect much better than Houston can. Making matters worse, Deshaun Watson holds the ball too long and takes unnecessary sacks. I imagine that’ll happen in this game. I’ll be surprised if Watson isn’t sacked at least five times.

Houston would be able to relieve some pressure from Watson with a strong running attack, but Lamar Miller won’t find any lanes. The Colts actually have one of the top ground defenses in the NFL. Thus, it’ll just be Watson to DeAndre Hopkins, which will produce some points, but probably not nearly enough.

RECAP: The Colts dominated the Texans in Houston Week 14, and I imagine that’ll happen again. The score was just 24-21, but only because the Colts made some sloppy mistakes early and allowed a late score. Indianapolis outgained Houston, 436-315 and averaged two more yards per play. The Colts simply match up extremely well against the Texans.

Furthermore, Watson is one of three quarterbacks making his first playoff start this week. That’s not a good thing. Here’s a list of quarterbacks making their first playoff start since 2002 (unless playing another quarterback making his first start):

Home underdogs: 2-5 ATS, 2-5 SU
Road favorites: 1-2-1 ATS, 2-2 SU
Road underdogs: 6-9 ATS, 3-12 SU

Combined Record: 13-29-1 ATS, 14-29 SU

That’s pretty terrible, and it makes sense. First-time playoff quarterbacks tend to choke, especially when favored, as Watson is in this game.

Given the Colts’ superior offensive line and great matchup edges, as well as Houston’s inexperienced quarterback, I love the visitor. Indianapolis is my top play this week. This is a five-unit selection.

THURSDAY THOUGHTS: There was some question about the status of center Ryan Kelly, who missed Week 17. Kelly has practiced all week, however, so he’s good to go. This is huge for Indinaapolis’ chances of pulling off the upset.

SATURDAY NOTES: The Colts are still my top play. The best line I see is +2 -105 at Bookmaker. I’m going to hold off and hope for a reasonable +3 to emerge.

FINAL THOUGHTS: Some sharp money has come in on the Colts, pushing this line down a bit. Unfortunately, +2 -105 is no longer available. You can get +2 -110 at BetUS or +1 +100 at 5Dimes, which seems better to me. Hopefully the Texans don’t win by two, but that’s a result that doesn’t happen very often. Even if it does, the math says that taking +1 +100 is correct.

Deshaun Watson is making his first playoff start.

    Walt’s Projected Line: Pick.
    Saturday, Jan. 5, 8:15 ET

    The Game. Edge: Seahawks.

    VEGAS UPDATE: I’ll be posting how the Vegas sportsbooks have done the previous week in this spot.

    The highest-bet sides were 43-40-4 last season, a year that was pretty painful for the books. Perhaps the pendulum will swing the other way…

    Here were the teams getting the most bets last week:

  • Eagles -6.5
  • Packers -7.5
  • Colts -5.5
  • Bears +5


  • Vegas has had an up year, but it ended on a bad note, as three of the four heavily bet teams covered.

    The overall record of heavily bet teams is now 38-43-4. Here are the teams getting the most bets this week:

  • Chargers +2.5


  • HATE MAIL: I will be posting hate mail here. This is from someone saying I’m biased against the Cowboys for some reason:



    I’ve been saying that the Cowboys aren’t good all year. Does that make me biased against them, or am I just giving my honest analysis? Honestly, if I were blatantly biased against them, people like this guy wouldn’t accuse me of it, as he would just brush it aside as nonsense analysis.

    These next two are from idiots who have no grasp of what luck is:



    And then there’s this…



    WaLt LoStEd HiS pIcK sO hE oBvIoUsLy Is SuX aT hAnDcAPpInG aNd He SaYs He HaS bAd LuCk WhEn He JuSt Is SuX lOlOlOlO.

    Derp dee doo.

    This is perhaps the dumbest post of all:



    When have I followed the sharps? All I do is post whom they’re picking. I don’t follow it. Did it ever occur to you that I might just post information because people might find it interesting? Or is that too far of a reach for you to grasp mentally?

    DALLAS OFFENSE: Amari Cooper has obviously helped the Cowboys, but Dak Prescott’s warts are still prevalent. Prescott misses several passes he should convert each week. He made a great play on a meaningless fourth-and-15 last week to win and help improve the Giants’ draft positioning, but he wouldn’t have been in that situation had he not missed numerous open receivers throughout the afternoon.

    Cooper’s presence allows Ezekiel Elliott to have more running room, as teams have to respect a player in the receiving corps for a change. This is a favorable matchup for Elliott, as the Seahawks are 17th in DVOA run defense. We’ve seen them struggle versus Elliott before, as they surrendered 127 yards on just 16 carries to him back in Week 3.

    There are two caveats in this matchup that benefit the Seahawks. One is linebacker K.J. Wright, who wasn’t on the field in that first matchup. In fact, Wright has barely played all year. He returned from a lengthy absence in Week 16 to help his team beat the Chiefs. His return to action gives the Seahawks a second viable linebacker, which they didn’t have unless Mychal Kendricks was playing. Two, Dallas’ offensive line has some problems. This was already the case, but now guard Zack Martin is banged up. I expect Martin to play, but will one of the NFL’s top guards be 100 percent? That’s unclear. If not, the Cowboys won’t have as much success pounding the ball with Elliott.

    SEATTLE OFFENSE: Speaking of offensive line issues, Russell Wilson was sacked frequently against the Cardinals. Arizona doesn’t even have a good pass rush outside of Chandler Jones, yet it was still able to put heavy heat on Wilson. That certainly doesn’t bode well in this matchup, as Wilson will be chased down by DeMarcus Lawrence, who has a great matchup against inept right tackle Germain Ifedi.

    That said, this is not an uncommon occurrence for Wilson. He’s often under heavy duress, yet gets out of it with his wizardry and is able to find one of his receivers for long gains. The weakness of Dallas’ defense is the secondary. Outside of Byron Jones, none of the cornerbacks cover well, so I expect Wilson to create some big plays.

    While the Seahawks will have some big plays, their offense likely won’t be consistent. They’ve improved on this side of the ball lately with a better rushing attack, thanks to Chris Carson, but this is a tough matchup for Carson. Dallas has a top-five NFL DVOA rush defense, so Carson won’t be very impactful.

    SPECIAL TEAMS: I seldom discuss special teams because that aspect of the game is usually chaotic and inconsistent, but it’s worth noting that the Seahawks surrendered 18 points on special teams last week, thanks to two blocked punts and a long return. The Cardinals had no business being in that game, yet they were because of special teams. This is one area the Cowboys could dominate.

    RECAP: This is the toughest game of the weekend to handicap. The Seahawks are a bit better than the Cowboys, and the spread reflects that. These teams also seem evenly matched, as both defenses will have trouble stopping what the offenses do well.

    When it comes down to it, I trust Wilson and Pete Carroll way more than Prescott and Jason Garrett. Wilson and Carroll obviously have an extensive successful track record in the playoffs, while Prescott has never won a playoff game. Garrett, meanwhile, is one of the two worst head coaches in the playoffs (Bill O’Brien). I feel like he’ll find some way to lose this game.

    THURSDAY THOUGHTS: It seems like there’s a bit of sharp money coming in on the Cowboys, though not enough to shift this line up to -3. The spread seems like it’s moving up, so if you like Seattle, wait on this.

    SATURDAY NOTES: As with the previous game, Bookmaker has the best line on the underdog is +2 -105. That number is also available at BetUS. I’m not betting this one, as there’s a legitimate chance that corrupt officiating will help Dallas advance to the second round.

    FINAL THOUGHTS: Some sharp money is coming in on the Cowboys, but not enough to have this line move to -3 in most books. Fortunately, some books allow you to buy points, and doing so at BetUS allows Seattle +3 -125 (it’s -128 at Bookmaker.) That is much better than +2.5 -110. Getting a +3, even at -125, gives us a spread edge in this game. I’m going to put a unit on the Seahawks, as this game should be close.
