The 8-4 Houston Texans are -7.5-point favorites over the 4-8 Denver Broncos in Week 14, according to BetMGM. That digit sits at the fifth-highest of the week; for a good reason, as Houston is surging while Denver is injured and will start a rookie quarterback.
The experts in Las Vegas have the Texans winning at home on Sunday. Do the NFL experts believe the same thing?
CBS Sports (Pete Prisco): Texans
The Texans, at home, have the momentum after a thrilling win over the New England Patriots. CBS Sports’ Pete Prisco sees them building on that with a win over the Drew Lock-led Broncos.
“The Broncos won in Drew Lock’s first start last week, but this will be his first road start. That will be a challenge against an improving Houston defense. The Texans lit up the Patriots last week, and Deshaun Watson will build on that. Texans take it,” said Prisco.
Pick: Texans, 26-13
