Texans/Raiders

[SF Mikey]

I will only need to watch the first quarter to know who is going to win. If we score first, we have a good chance, if the Texans do, they will. Our team has little heart and we can only get going if we score first.

What are the odds the Raiders score first - those are some pretty long odds aren't they! I hope for a semi-competitive game - we'll see.

this is wierd, but I got a feeling that the D will show up and the offense will do enough to win this game.. We're gonna win this one..

We just beat the Titans at their own game, so we're hoping for a 5 game win streak, not a trap game. Who knows though, we'd be 11-4 if it weren't for turnovers and one particulary Sage "Rosencopter" breakdown against the Colts.

Ha, tell me about it, that was fustrating to watch. Also the game against the Jags where a fake punt lead to a TD. 2 winnable games right there. The problem with the Texans is that they can put up a lot of yards, but they turn the ball over often.

At this point, I can't see how this would be a 'trap' game. The Raiders blow -- yes. Texans have to travel to the west coast - yes. Maybe, just maybe Houston is too ****y (Ryans sounded really confident this week...).

But take into consideration that the Texans have played well and are ending the season in a high note. They want their first above .500 season. They have a few pro bowlers that want to end the season with a bang. And the Raiders sadly, don't want to play football anymore.

People know they are losing their jobs. And its really tough to gauge how much the young guys want to make a splash to end the season.

Man, as bad as I don't want to agree with you, I have to. What a sad ending to a sad season.

Hello Raider fans. Texans fan here.

Here's hoping for a good game with no injuries. Sorry your team isn't doing so well, we in Houston are rather used to that. The Silver and Black have a good history and yall will recover.

I predict a Texans win today, but I have to be honest, the Texans are in new territory now protecting a four game winning streak. I guess we shall see what we shall see.

Should be a good game, 1st time in a long time i can actually watch the game at home

I don't know where this team is mentality. I said after the game last week that its looks like a majority have packed it in for the season. So I say this with hesitation. This is a game that favors the Raiders. We match up very well with the Texans. They are not a power football team - which are the teams that destroy us. The Texans are very similar to the Jets and Denver in terms of having smaller, more finesse Olines. This favors our defense and I look for Burgess and Scott to have big games Sunday.

If Cable can get McFadden involved from the start of the game and get away from his run Fargas mentality, the offense might get a couple of drives going and put a few points on the board. Look to get Higgins the ball early. Use Bush, he has great hands. We could make a game of this. Regardless I'll be there hoping to get a victory for our final home game of the season.

Congrats guys! Great game on your part, a classic case of coming in expecting the best only to completely overlook the opponent.

Plus, we're like a carbon copy of the Broncos, and you guys have their number.

Anyways, great game...hopefully got you guys some holiday cheer.
