This one could get interesting. The Houston Texans’ defense ranks 30th in the league allowing 27.6 points per game and they take on Denver. The Broncos own the league's worst scoring defense, allowing 29.6 ppg. If those averages hold to form, we should see close to 60 points in this game. The Texans have allowed fewer than 24 points only once this season. They have allowed 30+ eight times and they have been hit for 29 or more points in nine of their last 10 games. Denver has allowed 30 or more in six games. Denver's defense started poorly but it's gotten even worse. The last eight games show this Denver team allowing 34.8 ppg. When palying a team that gives up 24+ per game, Denver is 6-0 OVER the past two seasons. The Texans are 9-0 OVER the past three seasons following a double-digit loss. For this one to be set in the high 40s makes no sense to me. I can't see this one staying in the 40s. Play the OVER.
