Texans vs. Raiders Betting Preview
Houston won their first road game last week in Jacksonville and now are sitting in first place in the AFC South as the only team with a record above .500. It was their sixth win this year with the other five coming at home where they are undefeated. They don’t have a great offense so their defense is what keeps them from losing games when they have trouble scoring. They are ranked 30th in total offense and 29th in scoring points (17.9 points a game).
Quarterback Brock Osweiler has a 74.1 quarterback rating which is 31st in the league and he leads a passing attack ranked dead last in the NFL with 11 touchdown passes and 9 interceptions. Their defense is their key as they are ranked 4th in total defense and 12th in allowing points (21 points a game).
The Raiders are 7-2 and are tied with the Chiefs sitting on top of the AFC WEST. The Raiders offense is led by Derek Carr who has thrown for over 2500 yards and 17 touchdowns. The offense is ranked in the top 10 in every offensive category while scoring over 27 points a game. If they have a clear weakness it is their defense which is ranked 25th in total defense and 21st in points allowed (24.8 points a game) Over the last three games the defense has held their opponents to 24 points or less.
The oddsmakers have made the Raiders a six point favorite and set the total at 46. According to Covers.com Consensus Analysis a whopping 73% of the public feel Oakland at home is a no brainer and are behind the Raiders while 67% think the total is too low and are taking the over.
The road team has won the last four meetings between these two teams.

SERVICE BIO
WHO IS THE ICEMAN? He’s no soothsayer and he doesn’t have a crystal ball, but Jesse Schule can indeed predict the future. As a professional handicapper, it’s actually part of his job description. His clients have accused him of secretly possessing Marty McFly’s Sports Almanac, but he tells us the secret to his success is thanks in part to his fascination with history. The idea that you can predict the future by studying the past is nothing new. Historians have been doing it for years.
Career Highlights:
- Perfect 10-0 start to NFL Season (2022)
- Perfect 5-0 Super Bowl Card (2018)
- Perfect 6-0 NBA Finals Futures (2017)
- Perfect 3-0 NBA Finals Futures (2019)
- Perfect 3-0 NBA Finals Futures (2020)
- Perfect 8-0 card X-Mas Day (2016)
- Perfect 8-0 NCAA Tourney picks Sweet 16 - Final (2015)
- Picked Germany +$700 to win World Cup (2014)
- Picked Marcus Mariota +$700 to win Heisman (2014)
Handicapping Methodology: Jesse is not a believer in systems, programs or number crunching formulas to handicap games. He is firm in his belief that you aren't playing against the sportsbook, you are playing against the average Joe (other bettors). Jesse is notorious for attacking inflated point spreads, soft lines and totals that are a little out of whack. He also relies on a nearly photographic memory with an uncanny ability to tell you a player's history and stats dating back for decades. Anyone can look up how many touchdowns a guy has scored, Jesse can also tell you about the ones that he almost scored.
Money Management: His plays are rated based on a 1-10 star system, and he recommends wagering 0.5 percent of your bankroll per star rating. So a top rated 10* play would represent a bet equal to five percent of a player's bankroll.
Signature Plays:
AFTERNOON EXECUTIONER: This title is reserved for games with a start time between 12:00 – 4:30 ET. These are popular with action junkies who are dying for the games to get underway.
The TERMINATOR: Jesse's signature totals play, the Terminator has established a reputation as one of the most consistent winners in Schule's repertoire.
TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE: These plays represent a game where the stats show a significant trend which isn't reflected in the price.
GRIM REAPER BLOWOUT: His signature play reserved for medium to large favorites. High percentage plays for those who don't mind laying chalk.
HOT DIGGITY DOG: This is the Iceman's signature underdog play. About as rare as strawberries in December, you'll want to grab these whenever they are available
