Brock Osweiler returns to Denver for the first time after spurning the Broncos in the offseason and signing with the Texans in March. To say that the Broncos and their fans had this game circled on the schedule is an understatement. I would expect the Broncos and their defense to be fired up for this game, and they should play better than the way they played the last few weeks. Here are some random thoughts that I have about this game:
-The Broncos have had 11 days off since they lost at San Diego, so they are rested and ready to get back on the winning track at home on Monday Night Football.
-They are honoring Simon Fletcher, Jason Elam, and John Lynch as inductees into the Broncos Ring of Fame. They better be fired up for this one.
-The Broncos are going with the blue jerseys for the game, and that is always a welcomed sight.
-I think the Texans are a team that will beat up on the weaker teams and struggle with the better teams-especially on the road. That should play well into the Broncos favor.
-A lot of people are knocking Osweiler for the start he has had this season in Houston. What did you expect out of a guy who only started 7 games in his career and signed a deal for $18.5 million a year? It is not surprising that he struggling with those kind of expectations. His biggest problem is that he holds the ball too long, and that should be a difference maker for the Broncos defense.
-I think Osweiler will play well enough for his team, and I am not sure what I am going to get out of Trevor Siemian and the Broncos offense in this game, and for that reason I am not sold on the Broncos cruising to a victory in this game.
Houston (+7.5) over DENVER
Final Score: Texans-22 Broncos-20
