5*
(NFL) Oakland vs. Houston,
Point Spread: 4.00 | -110.00 Oakland (Away)
Result: Loss
This is going to be a low scoring game and I like the Raiders with the better offensive line and FG Kicker. Oakland also has the better offensive athletes. I like Jack DelRio as a coach and I think the public isn't giving the Raiders a shot but they were underdogs for the most of the season and responded well. Oakland hasn't shown they can thrive in the midst of tumult at the quarterback position. But I see some other aspects of the Oakland machine stepping up this week, keeping the game close, and registering the cover on the road with a reasonable shot at a win. I'm backing the Raiders here PLUS THE POINTS.
