Mile High Report
While the Denver Broncos opened slight road favorites earlier this week, that line has shifted towards the Houston Texans. The home team is now favored in this game. People believe this game is as close as it gets and for the 6-2 Broncos it could spell ‘trap’ for them as they prepare for back-to-back home games against division rivals.

Collectively, our Mile High Report staff is predicting a Broncos 25-17 road win over the Texans. While we all predicted a win, some of us are more confident than others. At the end of the day, all we hope for is a 7-2 record.
Here’s how each of us predicted things would go individually:
This one is going to be closer than anyone expects. The Texans defense is legit and has kept nearly every game close. Their offense finally woke up from their poor start and have turned an 0-3 record into a 3-4 record. A win this week would catapult the Texans back into the AFC playoff discussion. While I think it will be tight, I see a late game-winner from October’s AFC Special Teams Player of the Month, Wil Lutz. Give me 7-2! – Tim Lynch
Denver goes from facing the best offense in the league to one of the best defenses in the league, but that is a challenge they should be able to overcome. All of October did nothing but prove that they can win these gritty and close games. And even without the best defensive player in the league, they should be able to stifle this Houston passing attack. If they can blanket the Cowboys, they should be all over the Texans. Just need the offense to put up some points. – Ross Allen
The Denver Broncos face one hell of a challenge this week. The Texans have a dangerous offense and a stout defense who are well coached much like the Broncos. I think this is a close game that I expect we win because of pass rushing advantage leading to turnovers in our favor. – Sadaraine
Texans have feasted on poor competition as of late which has inflated their defensive rankings. They’re still a tough defense, but not one the Broncos offense can’t handle. I expect the Broncos to win by multiple scores fueled by their pass rush making life hell for CJ Stroud. Broncos, Bo Nix, and their defense stays hot and improves to 7-2. – Scotty Payne
The Broncos have been on quite the run recently. Now they take the show to Houston to face a team that has been in the ascendancy...
