NFL odds: Broncos are 9.5-point favorites vs. Texans in Week 2

The Denver Broncos (0-1) are considered 9.5-point home favorites against the Houston Texans (0-0-1) in Week 2, according to Tipico Sportsbook.

The Broncos are coming off a heartbreaking 17-16 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, a game that featured questionable game management from rookie head coach Nathaniel Hackett.

Late in the game, Hackett decided to attempt a 64-yard field goal instead of giving quarterback Russell Wilson a chance to pick up a fourth-and-five near midfield. The kick went ride left, and Denver’s now 0-1.

The Texans had a wild game against the Indianapolis Colts that ended in a 20-20 tie after both teams failed to score during a 10-minute overtime period.

The Broncos and Houston will now be seeking their first wins of the season when they face off in Week 2.
