Four things to watch as the Texans take on the Broncos this Sunday.
The Houston Texans, fresh off an uninspiring 20-20 tie in which they coughed up a 20-3 fourth quarter lead to the Indianapolis Colts. step up in weight class, both in terms of opponent and majorly in terms of environment, as they travel to Denver this Sunday for a late afternoon game against the 0-1 Denver Broncos.
The Broncos are one of a handful of teams sporting a new look at quarterback in 2022, having traded major draft capital to Seattle back in March for Russell Wilson. They took the relationship to the next level a couple weeks ago, handing Wilson a five-year, $245 million contract extension that, barring a trade demand, will make him a Bronco likely for the rest of his career.
The Texans are heavy underdogs, 10 point underdogs, to be exact, in the first of what could be a handful of Texans games that sport a double digit betting line this season.
EVERYONE knew in the moment the decision was idiotic. So that will be a fun storyline on the two sidelines — if this game is close in the second half, which coach flinches and botches simple game management?PREDICTION: Broncos 30, Texans 13Listen to Sean Pendergast on SportsRadio 610 from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. weekdays.
