Jon Hoefling: Denver Broncos (+1.5)

A win against a broken and battered 49ers team doesn’t do much to quell the concerns the Texans have at offensive line. The Broncos boast a much more formidable defense and should win this one no problem.

Jordan Mendoza: Denver Broncos (+1.5)

Houston could bring Denver’s offense back down to Earth after big showings at home. This could be a tight contest that comes down to a field goal at the end.

Tyler Dragon: Denver Broncos (+1.5)

I’m surprised the Texans are a slight home favorite. The Broncos have found ways to win. Denver’s Week 8 victory might’ve been its most complete game.

Christopher Bumbaca: Houston Texans (-1.5)

Points will be at a premium in this one. But does the Broncos’ offense travel? I’m not sold so I’ll go with the side that has a strong unit (Houston’s defense) and is at home.

Lorenzo Reyes: Denver Broncos (+1.5)

Both these offenses put forth their best games of the season last week, but this matchup will be determined by the defenses. I like Denver’s a little more, and think the Broncos are the slightly more complete team.

Blake Schuster: Denver Broncos (+1.5)

I know that Houston is at home, but this line feels off. The Broncos should roll. What am I missing?
