Broncos Face Texans in Week 9 Defensive Test as Kickoff Nears

Oddsmakers see a tight, low-scoring matchup favoring Houston.

Overview

  • Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET at NRG Stadium on FOX, with streaming available on Fubo subject to regional restrictions.
  • Denver enters 6-2 on a five-game win streak and atop the AFC West, while Houston is 3-4 after a slow start.
  • The latest betting line lists the Texans at -1.5 with a total of 40.5 and a Houston money line around -133.
  • Projection models tilt to the Under given both defenses’ top-five rankings in yards and points allowed this season.
  • Denver will be without cornerback Pat Surtain II, heightening the focus on pass rush in a game where pressure on C.J. Stroud has often determined Houston’s results.
