NFL Odds, Picks & Predictions: Broncos vs. Texans
Broncos vs. Texans
At the early part of the season, it looked like the Russel Wilson/Sean Payton experiment was a failure, but this team has turned it around. They went from allowing 70 points in one game to 80 points in the last five, and are right back in playoff contention. The Texans are another team that has shocked everyone, as they are in the midst of playoff contention. The development of C.J. Stroud has quickly made this team a force, and they’re someone to watch out for this year and beyond. This game has a ton of meaning, as it could be a tiebreaker for a Wild Card spot. Respectfully, the Texans are a home favorite, but only by a field goal, but this veteran Broncos team can keep it even closer.
Pick: Broncos +3

What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting “against the spread†refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
