Weather & injury impact for this fixture

Conditions · who's out · how it moves the number
For Houston Texans vs Indianapolis Colts: The game is played retractable roof (closed), so wind and rain won't touch the passing or kicking game, and 14 players are listed out or questionable across both sides.
FactorThis fixture
Roof / venueretractable roof (closed)
Surfaceartificial turf
Wind / weatherIndoors — wind and precipitation are not a factor
Availability14 listed out or questionable (see Who's out above)

General rule: indoor and domed games remove wind and rain from the equation, which tends to support passing totals and kicking accuracy versus an exposed outdoor game.
