NFL Week 9 odds, picks, predictions, TV channel, streaming information for the Sunday football game between the Denver Broncos and Houston Texans.

Unsurprisingly, based on how the game had gone, the 49ers went three-and-out on their third offensive possession of the game. The ten plays the 49ers had gone without a first down had been the longest the Niners had gone without a first down under Kyle Shanahan.

C.J. Stroud is having a day and he has the Iowa State trio to thank for it. The Houston Texans are up 23-7 after Stroud connected with wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson for a 19-yard score in the third quarter, capping off a 12-play, 94-yard drive while taking nearly six minutes off the clock.
