Brock Osweiler to start for Texans

rizespor · 01-03-17, 12:44 PM

Total at 36.5

Who's taking the under?

Mac4Lyfe · 01-03-17, 01:15 PM

I've been looking at the under but the only thing that scares me is that both QB's might turn the ball over and leave short fields.

POOLSIDE · 01-03-17, 01:31 PM

Raiders don't lose this game

chico2663 · 01-03-17, 02:08 PM

Didn't he have success against them in Mexico? Aren't the raiders missing their qb? What am I missing?

rizespor · 01-03-17, 02:14 PM

Houston matches up well bc their dline can handle Oakland's monster oline and right now running the ball is really all the Raiders can do. Osemele did not play in Mexico city though.

Connor cook starting for Raiders. Tough game to handicap

jjgold · 01-03-17, 02:23 PM

Love Oakland here BIG

INVEGA MAN · 01-03-17, 02:56 PM

The team with 17 points will win!!!

Cuse0323 · 01-03-17, 02:58 PM

Connor Cook has a chip on his shoulder after falling to the 4th. He will come to play, and lead them to the W.

funnyb25 · 01-03-17, 03:07 PM

Not sure if this game will even be watchable.

Auto Donk · 01-03-17, 03:08 PM

"one and done" once again for Obrien..... may get the axe......

Savage must be seriously concussed. I'm liking da Raiders.

Scary thing is Osweiler will be the better starting QB in this game (although that is not saying much).

Sam Losco · 01-03-17, 04:02 PM

watching line movement... not sure if it gets any better than this on the raiders side

TheMoneyShot · 01-03-17, 04:17 PM

Watch Brock GO OFF this game... and start playing like the days in Denver. Guy is so due.

I like Oakland... but Brock is ready to have his best game.

Yeah, I want to take them now on the ML as I think it drops. Just hoping to build up my roll more though, so hopefully it stays put for a couple days.

Really Hoping Raiders Win here, but you are crazy if you think Raiders D can hold Texans to Under 17 points. If Raiders win, it's going over.

Texans D much better than Raider D. Not close.

Philmill · 01-03-17, 06:20 PM

Oakland will pound the rock so Cook can find a lane to move the chains......

Okland shows up and wins and moves on...................

great underdog spread aswell.........

I think it's closer than you think, but the Raiders secondary does suck. They can get pressure on the QB though. The secondary is solid enough to take advantage of Brock when he makes mistakes. Connor, and the boys can put up 20+. 23-19 sounds good to me. FG festival.

chico2663 · 01-03-17, 06:29 PM

Connor cook lol . All i need is for Seaweed to say lakers er faiders are a lock and then I'm pounding other side.

Cuse0323 · 01-03-17, 06:34 PM

Why not just pound it anyway, if you think Cook is so bad?

Because i have been wrong before but the jj/seaweed tag teaming a game. IT IS THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING

rizespor · 01-03-17, 09:06 PM

Early action on Houston

Line up to -4

Otters27 · 01-03-17, 09:10 PM

Brock will have a good game. Not sure what Raiders team will show in offense though

lakerboy · 01-03-17, 09:38 PM

Why do you have to watch?

DwightShrute · 01-03-17, 09:40 PM

13-6 Houston

They will lose the week after no matter who they play

What the fcck? The Texans have only scored more than 24 points in regulation ONE TIME THIS SEASON. They've haven't scored thirty even once. Anyone can hold them to 17.

I'm not saying it'll happen, but you've gotta be an absolute buffoon to think there's no way Oakland can hold them under any number.

Houston has games of 0, 9, 12, 13, 13, 13. This team sucks on offense.

For fcck's sake, they only scored 13 against San Diego. In their other fifteen games, the Chargers gave up an average of over 27 points a game. Houston got less than half of that.

What is this post. Why add this garbage to the internet.

POOLSIDE · 01-03-17, 10:45 PM

Houston is

28th in points per game
29th in yards per game
29th in passing yards per game
29th in time of possession

and we're "crazy" if we think the Raiders can hold them to seventeen?

Last season in the playoffs they scored exactly zero points, and that was with a much better quarterback.

All this is great but you fail to mention anything about Texans top 3 defense and the Raiders on there third string QB. Good luck with that. Your gonna need it...

Anytime a "Brock" is involved....Smile and fade.

Idk, Raiders gave up an average of over 24 points this year. Held only three teams to under 20 points all year, and never held the Broncos' weak O to under 20 points. ( played them twice)...and that was with Carr at QB when they were actually moving and holding onto the ball and stuff.

chico2663 · 01-04-17, 02:09 AM

it took a couple of bad calls for the raiders to beat htn with their number 1 qb

Pretty much irrelevant. I'm not commenting on the outcome of the game. I'm pointing out that it's asinine to state that there's no chance the Raiders can keep Houston under 17. The total in this game is in the mid 30's for a reason. Houston's offense is a joke.

Eh, sounds good. But the truth is the Raiders were up 30-13 in the Broncos game and gave up a 70 yard garbage time touchdown. Game was already over.

Mac4Lyfe · 01-04-17, 03:00 AM

Tough game to cap with so many unknowns. I was thinking Savage would start and Houston would be the play. Now, I'm not sure what direction to lean. Texans are pretty good at home but the pressure on Brock may be too much in this one and he implodes. I could see this game go down hill for either team. I may just wait to take a Live bet...
