MNF... Texans @ Broncos

[Destructor D]

I am reading a lot about how Texans were outscored 58-13 in 2 road losses @ NE & Minnesota to start the season. I also know Houston is a little beat up, but how are the Broncos almost double digit favorites:shrug: They are still an average offensive team with an average QB at best.

Denver was lucky to beat Carolina, needs a defensive score to extend margin vs Colts, game against Cincy was much closer than final score indicates, they crushed Tampa Bay, but turnovers were the main reason. I just don't think they're very good and winning by double digits will be very tough.

If Osweiler doesn't commit a bunch of turnovers as he does have 8 INT's already, why can't Houston hang within shouting distance, especially since Siemian didn't look very impressive vs Chargers and I think his shoulder is still hurting. I think Texans can hang within the inflated number unless they get crushed in turnover margin which could happen.

Texans +10.5 (-145) for 5* - Small play as sharp money has drive the number to 9 (-105) from 7, but I think it drops tomorrow to 7.5 to 8 and just a small play to watch the game. Maybe the line has gone up to hurt teasers in case Broncos win by 3 which could be the case. I say it happens...

I think the Denver defense crushes Brock and the offense.
Wouldn't surprise me if this game was over at half and covered.
Mile high effect 2h.
Good luck D

Sorry to anyone who followed... Turnovers are tough to handicap and Texans turnovers were huge as maybe 13 point swing. Osweiler is awful!

Osweiler is really awful. Denver did well to dump him. How can you be barely 50% completions and average about 6 yards per completion! How can an NFL quarterback average 3 yards per pass attempt???? Plus the fumbles. Houston is a below average team with Osweiler and without Watt.:shrug:

And can't throw it past line of scrimmage without being blocked at 6-7???? He's terrible.
