<h2>
Houston at Oakland Game Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
Houston has forged a game and half lead in the AFC South heading into Week 11 with a straight-up 6-3 record in its first nine games while going 5-3-1 against the spread. Following last Sunday’s 24-21 victory against Jacksonville as a 2.5-point road underdog in a game that went OVER the closing 42-point line, the total has now gone OVER in four of the Texans last six games. They head into this matchup with a 1-3 record this season when closing as underdogs.
</p>
<p>
Free agent quarterback Brock Osweiler has not been the answer in Houston with a passing offense that is ranked dead last in the NFL in yards per game (187.3), but this offense has been able to run the ball behind another free agent Lamar Miller with an average of 121.4 yards, which is ranked fifth. The Texans’ defense has been plagued with major injuries all season long, but it remains stout in average yards allowed (317.4) while holding teams to 20.9 points a game.
</p>
<p>
Oakland has been one of the biggest stories in the NFL this season with its 7-2 SU run to the top of the AFC West and it has also been a solid betting team at 6-3 ATS. Heading into last week’s bye, the Raiders extended their current winning streak to three games (SU and ATS) with a 30-20 win at home against Denver as slight one-point home favorites. The total line in that game went OVER 44.5 points and it has gone OVER in five of their last six games.
</p>
<p>
One of the main reasons while Oakland is one of the top teams in the AFC this season is the play of its quarterback Derek Carr. He has completed 66.1 percent of his 354 passing attempts for 2,505 yards while tossing 17 receptions against just three interceptions. Amari Cooper is the team’s leading receiver with 58 catches for 843 yards and two scores. The numbers on defense do not look nearly as good with the 28th most yards allowed (398.0) and a 24.8 points-allowed average that is ranked 24th in the league. Penalties have also been a concern as they continue to pile up on both sides of the ball.
