Lorenzo Reyes: Raiders 24, Texans 17
Both these squads are coming off the bye so, in effect, that neutralizes any potential benefit there. While Houston has been excellent against the spread this season, going 4-1, Las Vegas’ season is already on the brink. The Raiders need this game. I expect they won’t let up on what is already a must-win.
Safid Deen: Raiders 27, Texans 20
The Raiders come back from their bye week with a 1-4 record and the perfect opponent to get back on track. Las Vegas wins at home this week.
Lance Pugmire: Raiders 23, Texans 10
Houston has every reason to position itself for the best draft possible, and the 1-4 Raiders must have this one at home following a bye and a brutal loss to the Chiefs.
