If you haven't seen the Hawks Cardinals game - do it. Fantastic stuff.
Bruce Arians on Catanzaro: “Make it. He’s a professional. This ain’t high school. You get paid to make it.”
Damn :)
The matchup tonight has some nice subplots. Brock told John to show him the money; John said "nah" and Osweiler got the Texans to lay out north of $70m for his services - the boy's a genius! Meanwhile Gary Kubiak is back in town after his firing, facing DC Wade Phillips who has history with the Texans.
Brandon Marshall put it nicely "There's no ill will toward Brock. I am happy he got paid ... We want to kill him."
The Texans' O line is shaky and Denver will tee off on Osweiler, who I suspect is in for a rough night. At the same time, Houston's competent secondary has lost key players, and the Texans should struggle against a Broncos run game that has benefited hugely from the emergence of Devontae Booker.
It looks like a bad position for the visitors as Trevor Siemian has had ten days to get fit and even without Okung protecting his left side, the Broncos can get the ball to playmakers deep after softening up the D with the run.
If anyone reads this stuff, they'll know I hate giving the points on MNF and I'm always reluctant to give more than a TD, so keep it small and enjoy Osweiler ducking and diving.
Pick: Broncos -7.5 @ 2
