rook of year

----------------------------------------------------

Las Vegas - Win and they're in. Either team. Talking about the Colts/Texans game. This is for a spot in the playoffs, possibly a division title and a home game. Not head over heels in love with the game, but gonna lean to Houston. Why? Two words. Actually, two initials and one word. C.J. Stroud. The rookie from Ohio State is a virtual LOCK for Rookie of the Year and his numbers tell the story. Stroud has hit on 299 of 473 passes (63.2%) for 3,844 yards with 21 TDs and just 5 INTs. While we love Gardner Minshew's mustache, his numbers, specifically his touchdown to interception ratio (15 TDs/9 INTs) could be a problem. Also like the fact that the Texans have a plus differential in points scored/points allowed with a +20. The Colts are in negative territory at -15. This is also a revenge game for the Texas kids since they lost 31-20, at home, to Indy in week #2. Add it all up and we're looking at the initials. But gonna keep it light, a light tickle.
