NFL Week 2 Odds, Picks & Predictions: Texans vs. Broncos

Broncos host the Texans in Russel Wilson’s first home game in Denver. They look to move past the regretful play-calling in their one-point defeat at Seattle in week one. To do that, the Broncos must establish their two-headed run game with Williams and Gordon in the backfield. Houston gave up 177 rushing yards to the Colts last week, and the Broncos can look to exploit that in week two.

While the Texans put up over 300 yards of offense, they face a defense that only allowed 39 yards of total offense in the second half against the Seahawks. Look for the Broncos to continue the defensive momentum and for them to get into the win column at home.

Picks: Lean Denver -10 | Lean u45

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.
