They have the Texans with a 86% chance to win the division and a 20% chance to get a first round bye. Curiously, they have the Texans vs. Oakland game as a coinflip - 50:50. ------------------------------------------------------ Video - At least one person likes the Texans to cover the spread. TRT = 5:56

How does an official miss that call? He is right on the sideline staring down Hopkins running for a TD, and he blows a call in the only way that will not allow replay to fix his mistake. That is the kind of thing that should cost a guy a spot in an NFL crew. We have replay to fix almost every call, just don't blow your whistle and let replay get it right.

I thought it was pretty clear he's in bounds. Either way you need to err on the side that allows you to get the call right with replay. When you blow your whistle you have guaranteed you can't fix it.
But then we don't challenge Miller's run? Mack pulled Miller on top of himself and Miller rolls a yard past the first down marker.

Then the officials blow 2 spots in our favor. NFL football is played to exacting standards across the board, but they allow officials to blow over half of the spots. And half the time it's not their fault. They're guessing at spots from impossible angles behind the ball half the time.

Well, the good news is it took a full quarter to embarrass themselves as the group of fking incompetents that they are.
Also, you notice that whenever the Texans get a takeaway under these circumstances it is business as usual but a team that actually wants to win goes for the end zone right away? The Texans, losers that they are, were playing for three points that first drive.

We look good on 3rd down tonight, but we haven't put the ball downfield yet, and the raiders DBs are sitting on our short routes. You won't do great trying to throw fastballs into tiny windows against squatting DBs. We need to throw it downfield at some point.
