NFL Betting Preview For Broncos Texans Clash - 12-13-07
December 13 - Thursday night's are now all about NFL football betting as the regular College Football season is over and we all need some midweek pigskin action to bet on! Fortunately two of the lesser lights in the strong AFC have clubbed together to provide tonight's fare as the Denver Broncos travel to the Houston Texans.

Both teams have been consistently inconsistent and quite tough to handicap all season long. Not surprisingly the Broncos have laid some eggs on the road on their way to a 6-7 record while the Texans are 4-2 at home but still also only 6-7 on the year.
The latest betting suggests that this one is a toss-up, hence the term "PK" or "pick 'em" game. You get no points either way against the spread but instead whichever team wins straight up gets the cash.
Sportsbook.com has gone out on a limb and installed Denver as -1 point favorites. This is basically no different from a PK line, but in the event of a natural disaster that forces the game to end in a tie you would win if you grabbed the point on Houston (never going to happen).
Broncos -1 Over 47
Texans +1 Under 47
The Over/Under of 47 points could be good value for those looking to bet the OVER as a number of Houston's home games have turned into barnburners this season.
Both teams are still nursing playoff aspirations so it should be a good one.
