Texans vs Raiders Prediction & Pick
While both of these teams are in desperate need of a win, the pressure is on the Raiders here. Las Vegas entered the season as a trendy Super Bowl pick after trading for All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams. A 1-4 start is not what head coach Josh McDaniel had envisioned with this stacked roster.
Lose this game and the road to making the AFC Playoffs becomes much tougher. That's what the Raiders are facing. Look for quarterback Derek Carr to pick apart this Texans' secondary just like he did when he last faced them. Carr went 18-of-30 for 285 yards and 3 touchdowns in that 2019 game.
Final Score Prediction:'Texans: 21 | Raiders: 27

Texans vs Raiders Best Bet
Carr may ultimately lead the Raiders to a win here, but bettors can feel comfortable backing the Texans to keep it close. Houston is 6- 2-1 against the spread (ATS) in its last nine games and is 4-1 ATS in its last five away games against Las Vegas. This is a team that fights until the final whistle.
Not a single team in the AFC South is separating itself from the rest of the pack, which means Houston still has a lot to play for in the coming weeks. Keep in mind only one of the Texans' three losses on the season came by more than a touchdown. That's where this spread sits at right now.
