The Houston Texans will attempt to welcome back head coach Gary Kubiak with a win on Sunday, when they host the struggling Oakland Raiders.
Houston quarterback Matt Schuab will be going into Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders (2-2) without star wide receiver Andre Johnson. This development is a real test for the Texans (3-1) who have been having a great season that’s rested largely on Johnson’s shoulders.
The odds makers earned their keep last week as they split the favorites and the underdogs right down the middle at 8-8. The road teams had a slight advantage with 10 of 16 winning against the spread. Turning to the total line, for the first week since the start of the regular season, the results balanced out with nine games going ‘over’ and seven games staying ‘under.
The Houston Texans appear to be a popular suicide pick this week. After all, what better week to pick the Texans, right?
The Texans, who have been 6-2 at home in each of the last two seasons, are 0-2 so far at Reliant Stadium this year. On top of that, they get a visit from the lousy Raiders this week, who seem to be playing with an eye-patch just like their logo.
