$400 Houston -3.5 These 2 teams met earlier this year in Mexico in a game I remember distinctly because I had Houston in that game and lost. The Texans were actually very effective offensively in that game and led much of that game. They ran the ball for over 100 yards, and their quick passing game was very effective as they accumulated 22 first downs. They love throwing to their TE's, and the Raiders are one of the worst teams in the NFL defending TE's, so that is a good match-up they should exploit again. The Texans had over 100 yards in penalties that game which is very unusual because they were the least penalized team in the NFL this year. Oakland on the other hand led the league in penalties and penalty yards and had only 4 for 21 in that 1st meeting. Those numbers are more likely to return to the norm. Very hard to trust Connor Cook making his 1st NFL start EVER on the road in a playoff game! Houston has the much better defense in this game, and I expect the recently benched Osweiler to have one of his best games of the season against a defense their offense matches up well against. $WINNER$ (+400)
Will post all my playoff plays in this thread.
