Broncos vs. Texans: Where to watch NFL Week 9, score prediction, betting odds, sportsbook promos, SGP picks

Two playoff teams from last season meet up in Week 9 action as the Houston Texans host the Denver Broncos. Houston got off to a slow start to the year, especially on offense, and finds itself 3-4 entering this matchup with the Broncos. Denver is 6-2, good for first place in a loaded AFC West, thanks to a five-game win streak that includes three one-score victories. 

Kickoff from NRG Stadium is set for 1 p.m. ET, and the Texans are 1.5-point favorites, according to the latest Broncos vs. Texans odds. The over/under for total points scored is 40.5. The Texans are -133 money line favorites (risk $133 to win $100), while the Broncos are +112 underdogs (wager $100 to win $112).

Broncos vs. Texans betting preview

Odds: Texans -1.5, over/under 40.5

The Texans have been Under machines this year, with that side of the total hitting in five of their seven games. Houston's offense has been better of late, scoring 26 or more points in three of its last four games, but combine an inconsistent offense with one of the best defenses in the NFL, and you get the recipe for a lot of Unders. Denver has also leaned towards the Under this year, with that side hitting in five of eight games. The Broncos had arguably the best defense in the league last year, and while that unit isn't quite as dominant, it still ranks in the top five of yards and points allowed per game.

Model's Broncos vs. Texans score prediction, picks

Given both of these teams' leaning Under all season long, it's not too much of a surprise to see that the SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is leaning that way as well. The Under hits in nearly 60% of model simulations despite this being the lowest total of the entire Week 9 slate. Both defenses rank in the top five in yards and points allowed per game this year.
