Texans Vs. Broncos: Odds, Analysis, Picks For ‘Monday Night Football’ Game
Editor’s note: NESN.com’s Mike Cole, Ricky Doyle and Andre Khatchaturian deliver their NFL picks every Thursday of the season, and here’s who they like in the Houston Texans-Denver Broncos Week 7 game, with the line from OddsShark.
Houston Texans (4-2) at (-7) Denver Broncos (4-2), Monday, 8:30 p.m.
Mike: Broncos. This shouldn’t be close. The only issue I have with this pick is Denver’s offense, but the Texans’ secondary is in rough shape, even more so after Kevin Johnson suffered a foot injury last week vs. Indianapolis.
Ricky: Broncos. Gary Kubiak returns to the sideline, and the Broncos should have something up their sleeves for Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler, who left Denver to sign a huge contract with Houston over the offseason.
Andre: Broncos. Aside from three consecutive “big boy” drives from Brock Osweiler late against the Colts, he’s had a pretty horrible season. That type of play isn’t going to cut it against a Denver defense allowing the second-fewest yards per play (4.6) that used to prepare against him every day last season. He has no secrets.
