Texans vs. Raiders: What to watch for
Here are some things to watch for in the Texans-Raiders game:
- Can the Texans get their offense going? The Texans have struggled to score points this season, averaging just 15.4 points per game. They will need to find a way to get their offense going against a Raiders defense that is allowing 24.8 points per game.
- Will the Raiders be able to generate pressure on Davis Mills? The Raiders have struggled to generate pressure on the quarterback this season, with just 10 sacks in seven games. They will need to find a way to get pressure on Mills if they want to have a chance to win the game.
- Can the Texans stop Davante Adams? Adams is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, and he will be a major test for the Texans' secondary. The Texans will need to find a way to limit Adams' production if they want to have a chance to win the game.
Texans vs. Raiders: Prediction
The Raiders are a slight favorite in this game, but the Texans have a chance to win if they can get their offense going. The Texans have a lot of talent on their roster, and they are due for a breakout game. The Raiders, on the other hand, have struggled to live up to expectations this season, and they are coming off a tough loss to the Saints. The Texans should be able to pull off the upset in this game.
