I don't think the Texans have ever beaten the Broncos, not even the game where Tebow made his second NFL start. Come to think of it, I don't recall the Oilers doing very well up there either.
One thing is true about watching the Broncos this year. They still can't cover tight ends. The Patriots ate them alive last year with throws to the TE and Miller (Pit) and Gonzalez (Atl) had little trouble. If you have OD on your fantasy team, be sure to start him.
I expect Bailey to draw AJ so expect we won't throw there much. Porter likes to jump the route on the other side so a double move could work there.
We have a lot of bad memories about Manning and our defense but Denver's receivers and Denver's OL aren't as good as those Colt teams we remembered. Phillips should not be afraid to bring the blitz because it looks like Manning has less time to throw since coming to Denver.
Bottom line: Texans look like the better team at this point in the season but beating the Manning jinx in mile high air isn't going to be easy.
