HOUSTON (Interstat) — The surging Denver Broncos, riding a four-game winning streak, will face a Houston Texans team fresh off a statement victory when the two meet Sunday at NRG Stadium.

The Broncos (6-2) enter the contest after a dominant 44-24 win over the Dallas Cowboys last week. Quarterback Bo Nix led the charge, throwing for 247 yards and four touchdowns. Denver’s defense, anchored by linebacker Jonah Elliss, has been a key factor in the team’s ascent.

Conversely, the Texans (3-4) are looking to build momentum after a convincing 26-15 upset of the San Francisco 49ers. Quarterback C.J. Stroud was prolific in that victory, passing for 318 yards and two touchdowns while adding 30 rushing yards.

Despite the disparity in records, the matchup is projected to be close. Interstat’s game simulator forecasts a 29-26 win for Houston. Betting markets reflect this, with Denver installed as a slight underdog with a spread of +1.5. The over/under is set at 40.5 points.

The game pits Denver’s consistent, winning form against a Houston squad that has shown flashes of high potential, including a 44-10 rout of Baltimore earlier this season. The Broncos’ defense will face a significant test in containing Stroud and the Texans’ offense.
