Game Thread: Wild Card Saturday: Oakland Raiders @ Houston Texans

[DJ]

The Saving grace for Oakland is Houston is starting Osweiler. I expect a low scoring game....










My Prediction: Raiders win, 16-13.

Wish they started these f'ing games earlier. Fuckin' 3:35!? Jesus. Guess I should just move to Hawaii.

In any event, rooting for the Raiders. Have always liked the team.

Yeah, you need to move to the Pacific Time Zone.

That's where I was originally (Seattle) but moved to Central Time Zone. Pacific is hands down best for sports times. Of all the things to hate about moving, it's probably the one that irks me the most.

Have to stay up until f'ing midnight for a ton of Mariners games.

Fuck.....I gotta un over to the bank around 9am. Better not be a line.






At least, it's not the 1st or the 3rd.

Jesus healed Derek Carr? I would have thought that would have been World Wide news?


Otherwise, the Texans are gonna run over them with a bus.

I'm pulling for **cough, Oakland, too. Don't fuck it up Raiders.

It's not going to be a blowout at all......even if the Texans win.....


It'll be a competitive game. We might be starting a rookie but we'll be running the ball a lot and Cook looked a lot better than McGloin when he played last week.



In the limited time he played.....he completed 14 of 21 passes for 150 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT against a solid Denver defense.

Read espins is losing 75 million on this game. Paid 100 million for the rights, but only getting 25 million on revenues.

As for the game, I'll watch...for awhile. Texans have a very good defense, Oakland has some very good players on the defense, getting the DB from WVU back, and starting a rookie QB. I guess he has thrown a pass or two, forgot about last week. But still, very green.

Who knows, the game may surprise us.

You might be right, but we heard the same thing last week. Oakland was gonna run all over the Broncos' poor run defense until Denver curb stomped the sorry Raiders.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Everybody expects a crappy game and somewhat understandably but that is about the time in the NFL where the exact opposite happens. It may very well turn into a great match-up. Neither team has very high expectations so nothing to lose. I'm going out on a limb and say 27-24 Raiders with the Raiders scoring the go ahead TD in the last minute.
Lol, now I probably jinxed the whole damn thing.
