I'm looking forward to this game; Houston rely on a low-risk, rush-heavy
offense, but Denver have been tough on the run (119 rushing yards at a
2.8 YPC) and that means Schaub will have to look for Andre Johnson more
downfield, but beyond Johnson, the pickings are slim. Add in the first
real test for Houston's offensive front (Schaub is notoriously skittish
in the pocket) and a lot of people's fancy to go all the way will be
severely tested at Mile High - always a difficult place to go.
Denver, or rather Peyton Manning, started dreadfully last week, and
the offense still looks like it needs fine tuning. That's not good news
against a Texans' defense that is well organised and tough. If Peyton
struggled against the Hawks, Houston may stymie him.
I'll give the points.
Pick: Houston Texans -1.5 @ 1.91
Pick: 1st TD Andre Johnson @ 8.0
Pick: Anytime TD Eric Decker @ 2.4
