Thursday Night Football Odds: Eyes on Osweiler

The Thursday Night football odds see the Houston Texans as big -7.5 favorites against the Miami Dolphins, but eyes will be elsewhere on Thursday.

Dolphins quarterback Brock Osweiler will be facing off against the Houston Texans, the team he used to helm, and it is no secret head coach Bill O’Brien did not get along with Osweiler in his time with Houston. That is the narrative drama being built by many. However, for bettors the line is where the action is.

A not-very-good Texans team are big 7.5-point favorites against the Dolphins. The Dolphins have not been super impressive with a 4-9 against the spread record, however, the Texans are 2-10 against the spread in their last 12 games and have covered at home in five games. The value on the spread is with the Dolphins.

With the total, it is set at 44.5 points. The Dolphins have hit the UNDER in their last four road games, while the Texans are 4-1 on the UNDER in their last five home games.
