The Oakland Raiders will take on the Houston Texans at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City in NFL Week 11's Monday Night Football matchup. Both teams are going strong sitting top of their respective division, but I like the Raiders to come through with a win big enough to cover the spread here.

Oakland is a perfect 5-0 both SU and ATS on the road this season, and it has had plenty of time to prepare for this game coming off a bye week. The Raiders had reeled off wins at Jacksonville and Tampa Bay before a 30-20 home win against Detroit just before the break, averaging 31 points during the winning streak.

Houston is coming off a 24-21 road win a Jacksonville, but the team has been dominated in total yardage in each of its last three games. Houston has the league's worst passing attack with an average of 187.3 yards per game, and Brock Osweiler threw for only 99 yards against the Jags and has registered only a total of 416 passing yards through his last three games. The Raiders Derek Carr is a machine and has a fantastic 17-3 TD/INT ratio on the season, numbers that can be compared with Osweiler's 11/9 ratio. Oakland can not only hurt teams through the air, but running back Latavius Murray is also a factor and he rambled for 114 yards and three scores in his last game.

The Texans have a pretty clear advantage on the defensive side of the ball, but I expect the Raiders to generate enough offense to run away with this game. I expect a BIG OAKLAND WIN, and I'm backing up my words with a BIG BET.
