The top sportsbooks know there’s no better time to bet on NFL games than Monday Night Football. We’ve already seen some great contests on Monday nights this season, and in Week 7 the Houston Texans and Denver Broncos will be squaring off to provide our weekly dose of Monday Night Football action. On Monday, October 24th, the Texans will be flying a mile into the sky to take on Denver in the Broncos back yard. The increase in altitude might affect Houston, but that’s what you have to deal with when playing at the Mile High. Will the top sportsbooks side with the team with home field advantage?
The Denver Broncos may be the favorites of people who bet on NFL when they clash with the Houston Texans on Monday, October 24th at Sports Authority Field at Mile High, but the former’s QB Brock Osweiler is a man on a mission. And that mission is to show the Broncos that it was he who should have led Denver to Super Bowl glory last season, and not Peyton Manning. Sure, he did get a championship ring even though he was benched, but that doesn’t count; it’s like that sham honorary Oscar they gave Peter O’Toole. Texans +9 (-115) 40½ (-110) +295 Broncos -9 (-105) 40½ (-110) -360

Fans and sportsbooks alike know that the NFL is one of the most unpredictable professional sports league within the US. One of the reasons that football can be so unpredictable is the small sample size which fans, or critics, have to base their predictions on. For example, sports like baseball and basketball – hell even hockey, play 80+ games a season (an MLB season even consists of 162 contests). Therefore, over the course of the season, fans have ample opportunities to watch and evaluate their teams. Flukes, whether they are positive or negative, get drowned out in the ongoing attempts athletes must continually make to try and play at their best. While on the other side, the NFL season only consists of 16 games. Granted, the league would be hard-pressed to try and fit more games into the season, due to the physicality of the sport.
