Houston at Denver

Houston is playing their part perfectly this preseason. A team off several horrible seasons, with a new coach, is playing to win. They want to know what it feels like to win. They want to set the right tone. They want to get the fans and press on their side. The Texans, under Gary Kubiak, have scored 25.5 points per game as they are simply trying harder than their opponents. Here they get a team off a big fat win. Denver rolled over Tennessee winning 35-10. Now they face the lowly Houston Texans in a preseason game. Which team will be more motivated? Houston. Undefeated underdogs of greater than a field goal are excellent bets in the preseason (cover the spread two thirds of the time). Houston has momentum and motivation and to boot we are getting six points. Take Houston plus the points on Sunday.
