The sixth season of the annual Play of the Day betting competition between the Sun's sports staff is now underway, effective July 1.
Bankrolls start at $10,000 for each of the four participants, with the objective to increase it as much as possible over the next year. The minimum daily wager is $300, with a $200 penalty assessed for failing to place a bet on an assigned day.
Past winners are Case Keefer in 2018-19 and 2017-2018, Ray Brewer in 2016-2017 and 2015-2016, and Taylor Bern in 2014-2015.
Houston Texans minus-3.5 vs. Indianapolis Colts: $330 to win $300
Really, after the Colts lost to the Dolphins can we really trust them again?
Granted, they blew out the Jaguars last week, but this isn't the same team that started the year 5-2. They also beat the Texans in their first meeting of the year.
But Houston should be the better team. Reports are that Will Fuller will be back in Houston's lineup. He's not a game-breaking talent like teammate DeAndre Hopkins, but he's a good complementary piece on what should be a team fighting for a first-round bye in the AFC playoffs. At home, I like the Texans too much to pass them up.
Current Standings: Grimala (10-4, $10,905), Keefer (18-13-2, $10,005), Emerson (9-12, $8,360), Brewer (8-9, $7,735)
