Monday Night Football Betting Notes: Texans-Broncos

We’re looking at a significant line move in the Monday nighter with the Denver Broncos up to 9-point favorites over the Houston Texans as of Monday morning. 

The line opened at Denver -6.5 and action has been bumping the line all week. The total came down just one point from 41.5 to 40.5 with the majority of action on the UNDER. 

I’m not surprised to see the total come down. We are looking at two offenses that aren’t exactly lighting the world on fire this season and two defenses that have been pretty solid. 

Here’s a look at some betting notes & numbers before you place your MNF wagers: 

  • Favored teams are 2-4 against the spread (ATS) in MNF this season and 24-45 ATS going back to 2012
  • Favored home teams are 2-3 ATS this season in MNF and 16-31 ATS since 2012 
  • The Broncos have the best pass defense in the NFL (182.33). The Texans have the 28th-ranked passing offense in the NFL (216.5 ypg)
  • The Texans have the worst-scoring offense in the NFL (18.0 ppg) 
  • The Texans have the 10th-ranked offensive line in the NFL according to NFL.com. The Broncos O-line ranks 25th 
  • The Broncos are tied with the Bills for most sacks in the NFL with 21 this season
  • Denver on Monday nights since 2012: 1-3 SU, 3-1 ATS, 1-3 OU
  • Houston on Monday nights since 2012: 3-2 SU, 1-4 ATS, 3-2 OU
