Two of my rules are "don't bet Oak at home" and "don't bet Houston on the road" so I will pretend this game doesn't exist.

Raiders stink, I will take the Schaub, Johnson and Slaton 
Look at those stats above
and Schaub has been out for like 4 weeks, he is good.
Zach Miller??   come on , N.E. played soft to give up those points.
your right about Houston on road, but its not a long road , the Raiders are disfunctional and Houston on paper has a good defense.  Playing the Raiders will help.
No rain expected in Bay Area  on weekend.
I will be up in the sportsbook in Tahoe and watch the Raiders degenerate fans throwing away their tickets again.

OAKLAND THE BIGGEST JOKE IN FOOTBALL. This team is pathetic another coordinator is heading to TENN with Kiffen. I just wish Det played Oak. I think Det easily wins the game. I like Slaton and the boys in this position. IT just sucks that Houston decided to make a strong run so late. Houston Looks like the Pick Here
Leanding towards
( -7 Houston)

Go Faiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiders! I also Expect the Raiders staff to be fired in the offseason and any brave man that wants to work for the mafia in Oak GOOD LUCK....

The Raiders offense is starting to come around /this will be closer than last weekends ass kicking...the field was tough to keep traction on and that's one of the reasons for the scorefest....

The Pats were toying with them like a cat plays with a mouse.
thats why it went over.
The were up by 21 with in 1 quarter like every other team has been and decided not to hit hard and get hurt or bust an ankle on a wet field.
They knew they would cover the spread.  It was like yours and mines  Thanksgiving day football game at the house.  What did they end up scoring on the raiders like 49!  Thats a joke.
% on Texans here, even raiders fans dont believe in this one.
that or they dont have any money left.

houston looks surpringly good on both sides of the ball while the raiders look terrible as usual and expected. o- line coach quit this week, team quit like 9 weeks ago. this aint close to bein hard. i have a question for n-e- 1 willing to answer, did mcfadden leave his speed cleats at arkansas cuz he no longer looks special. and russel, ok enough, houston by a minimum 10 points is my humble assertion

Houston is on a roll right now, no reason not to think they don't beat Oak.  Is this too many points?  I think not!

Houston will probably win the game.  But being that it's against the Raiders, that really isn't saying much.

Texans vs. Raiders ML +270 (1 unit to win 2.7) - just for the hell of it really, and to compliment the late season home dog theory.  The Texans are getting 89% of the love on Sports Insights, that's a crazy figure.  I know Schaub and Andre Johnson love each other but with Asomugha blanketing Andre today I'll see a slight decrease in offensive production across the board.  Oakland does suck, badly, but I think they'll find a way to win this one... ugly.

This is the season to give gifts. This is the gift that keeps giving.  Houston wants to finish above 500 for the first time in team history no reason they wont  final houston 38-16

That quote don't work in this game. Houston are playing for pride cause coach is fighting for his job. H-town is on a 4 game win streak which is the team's largest so far in Texans history. Trust me!

Houston - 24                     Oakland - 13
Texans -7                   under 44
Last 3 games of the season Oakland usually has their gear packed up and ready to be put away for the winter.
Plus their home record off back to back losses is pretty lousy.
They are 0 - 5 ATS in theis last home game of the season the last 5 years. I'm taking the team that seems to have thier act a little together Houston -7
