Broncos Texans preseason 2014: Game time, TV schedule, online streaming, odds and more

Game time! The Denver Broncos continue their 2014 preseason campaign by hosting the Houston Texans at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado. Kickoff is set for Saturday, August 23, at 7:07 p.m. Mile High time.

Thomas Campbell-USA TODAY Sports

A week of joint practices between the Denver Broncos and Houston Texans has led to "chippiness" and heightened tension heading into their Week 3 preseason contest. Whether it's J.J. Watt commenting that a player only needs to fight when he gets beat, or Peyton Manning saying the offense "stunk," there's added interest to see how these two teams play one another this week.

Manning and several coaches have indicated that the extended practice time against a different team may impact playing time, so we may not see Manning for the full two-plus quarters we are used to seeing him

Game time

Kickoff for the game is set for Saturday, August 23, 2014 at 7:07 p.m. Mile High time. TV coverage begins at 7:00 p.m.

Why 7:07, you ask? You're not a Broncos fan, are you?

Odds

The Bronco are 7-point favorites against the Texans at home.

Who you most looking forward to seeing?

I'm looking forward to Brock Osweiler hopefully getting first-team reps, along with how this offensive line handles Watt and company. What about you?
