NFL Week 1 Top Picks
Cohen, who watched all 16 games in the NFL’s opening weekend, is high on his prediction for the Indianapolis Colts to beat the Houston Texans 29-26 in one of the biggest upsets at home in Week 1. Indianapolis returns quarterback Anthony Richardson after missing 13 of 17 games in his rookie season. When he does play, he’s a dynamic dual-threat player, scoring four rushing touchdowns in his first three games. With running back Jonathan Taylor and Richardson, the Colts are projected to have one of the best rushing attacks in the league this season.
Houston boasts Rookie of the Year QB C.J. Stroud and an improving defense, but Indianapolis’ high-powered offense may be tough to stop. The Texans ranked in the bottom 10 in pass defense last season, and it may be tough for Richardson to beat them all year. Cohen believes this matchup will be the most exciting of Week 1.
