The Oakland Raiders will pay a visit to the Houston Texans Sunday afternoon, and I think the home team will cover this team rather comfortably.

The Raiders took a 42-24 loss at Green Bay last week and have now allowed 21 points or more in each of their last five contests. All their three losses this season have come by 18 points or more and they're 3-7 ATS in their last 10 as an underdog of at least 6 points.

Oakland is allowing 27.5 points a game, 29th in the league, and its pass rush is terrible (only 10 sacks on the season). The team allowed Aaron Rodgers to throw for 429 yards and five touchdowns last week while Patrick Mahomes roasted them for 443 yards and four scores when the Chiefs visited the Raiders in Week 2.

Here the Raiders will come up against Houston QB Deshaun Watson who can not only air it out, but also run with the football, and I just don't see how Oakland can keep up with Houston's offensive firepower.

The Texans have won four of six despite losing 30-23 as a 1½-point dog at Indianapolis last Sunday. They're 6-0-1 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS loss and the Raiders are 3-12-1 ATS in their last 16 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

8* play on Houston Texans.
