Denver Broncos vs. Houston Texans Betting Preview
Sean Payton and Russell Wilson have found the magic that has the Denver Broncos back in the mix for a playoff spot. The duo started rough with three straight losses to open the season. Those losses to the Raiders, Commanders, and Dolphins saw Denver allow 122 points in three games.
Now, the Broncos’ defense in the five-game winning streak is allowing just over 16 points per game. On the offensive side, the Broncos have moved to 13th in all of the NFL in points scored, with 22.4 per game. Russell Wilson is nearly at 2,200 passing yards, with Courtland Sutton the top target with 560 and 8 touchdowns.
Denver has three road games in a row. After this, the Broncos are at the Chargers and then go to Detroit to take on the Lions. The Broncos then finish the season with a home game against the Patriots, one against the Chargers, and then a trip to Vegas to battle the Raiders.
The Houston Texans have been the talk of the town, but they could still just be a year away. C.J. Stroud’s exceptional season has him in contention for the league’s Most Valuable Player, affecting the NFL MVP odds significantly. The rookie has over 3,200 passing yards and 19 touchdowns. Nico Collins leads the way with 50 receptions and 800 yards for Houston.
The Texans are the 2nd best passing team in all of the National Football League. They are throwing for 276.2 yards per game. The run game has been poor, as they are 24th in the league with under 100 yards per game. Overall, Houston is scoring 23.5 points per game, and allowing opponents 21.1. Houston Texans games are certainly more interesting this season with their ability to pass the ball all over the field.
After this, the Texans are at the Jets and Titans next.
Denver Broncos vs. Houston Texans Betting Picks
We are in store for a really good game in the National Football League. These two NFL teams are both going to be hungry for a while. The Broncos are red hot and got the NFL odds in their favor, while Houston feels they should have won last week, and need to get back on track. Stroud, the rookie, against Wilson the veteran should be a great matchup as well.
In the end, the Broncos have better balance. They can run the football and seem to be playing better defense right now. We are going to take the Denver Broncos to cover the spread in this game, and likely win the game outright.
We will stay away from the moneyline for now, but make sure to keep your eye on that one. Looking at the Broncos vs Texans odds – our bet is the Denver Broncos +3.5 over the Houston Texans on Sunday.
