Chip's NFL 'Money Game' Winner (Texans/Raiders)
(NFL) Houston vs. Oakland,
Point Spread: 3.00 | -110.00 Oakland (Home)
Result: Loss
Houston at Oakland 4:25 ET
Raiders (+) over Texans- How about this match-up of two teams that were a combined 6-26 last season and yet this is excitement in Oakland. Maurice Jones-Drew returns 'home' to run for the Raiders who were quite pleased with the debut of rookie quarterback Derek Carr (20-32, 2 TD, 0 INT) against the Jets powerful defense. The absence of overall #1 pick Clowney will hurt the Texans pas rush and their play on the road won't help. Houston has lost seven straight on the road and are 1-10 in their last 11 straight-up. Oakland is 9-3 straight-up in home openers after opening on the road. Take RAIDERS!
