Let’s be honest, the standard is pretty low for the Las Vegas Raiders this season. So, while the now 2-13 club lost to the Houston Texans in Week 16, falling just two points short against one of the hottest teams in the NFL is an accomplishment for this year’s Raiders. Plus, Las Vegas got a […]

Some games are things of beauty. Some games aren’t. However, the NFL does not work the same way as college football. There aren’t rankings that dictate who makes the playoffs.

However, even in […]

By halftime of Saturday’s matchup between Texas A&M and Miami, the game remained scoreless. In fact, save for a lone third-quarter field goal for the Hurricanes, the first three quarters were sloppy at baseline, made worse by untenable wind (Miami’s kicker missed three field goals in the outing, with said wind largely to blame). It […]

If this holiday season teaches us anything, it’s that we take many things for granted in this life. Specifically, as Texans fans, we’ve had the luxury to take many things for granted in recent years.

There’s no getting around it: the Las Vegas Raiders are heading into a mismatch for their Week 16 contest against the Houston Texans. The Raiders were two-touchdown underdogs when the gambling lines opened, and Houston’s pass-rush versus Las Vegas’ offensive line is likely a big reason why. The Texans have the best edge-rush duo in […]
