DENVER – Russell Wilson will lead the Denver Broncos in an attempt to get a first win of the season against the Houston Texans.

Russell Wilson Pass Attempts Odds

  • Over 30.5 -130
  • Under 30.5 +100

In the game against Houston, Wilson is favored to pass more than 30 times, which he did against Seattle, attempting 42 passes.

In 2022, Wilson put up 400 pass attempts in 14 games played, for an average of about 28 pass attempts per game.

NFL Network’s James Palmer reported that the Broncos’ offense would be built to “Let Russ Cook”, but there are doubts after first-year coach Nathaniel Hackett kicked a 64-yard field goal rather than allowing his QB to try to gain five yards.

Russell Wilson Interceptions Odds

  • Over 0.5 +175
  • Under 0.5 -205

Wilson is famously careful with the football, to the point that he rarely takes dangerous passes over the middle, instead opting to pass down the sidelines more than nearly any other QB in the NFL.

He has never had an INT% over 2.5%, which was his mark in his rookie year, and he’s only gone over 2% INT rate one time in the last five years.
