Official Texans vs. Raiders Game Thread, 10/27/2019

[Arky]

The 4-3 Texans will host the 3-3 Oakland Raiders this Sunday at NRG in a late afternoon game. The Raiders lost a road game 42-24 to the Green Bay Packers last Sunday. The Texans lost a road game 30-23 to the Indianapolis Colts last Sunday.

The Texans are 6-4 all time vs. the Raiders. The Raiders haven't played a home game in Oakland since Sept 15, in Week 2.

The Texans have played only game decided by more than one score, a 53-32 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. I've got them getting their second one this Sunday over a road-weary Raiders team.
