Both the Texans and Raiders return from Week 6 byes to face one another in a battle of the bottom of the AFC. Despite being in last place in the conference standings, the Raiders are favored by around a touchdown.
The vibes aren’t great in Las Vegas and could worsen if the Raiders can’t get past the one-win Houston Texans.

Kickoff is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET Sunday at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Josh McDaniels will need to make sure his guys are ready to go on Sunday in order to stay within striking distance of the rest of the AFC West. More importantly, they’ll need a win to get from near the bottom of the league.
Is Houston a good football team? With two one-score losses and a tie, the Texans are probably a few bad breaks away from being one of the many surprises of this NFL season. A win Sunday could affirm they’re a solid squad and would also give them back-to-back wins for the first time since December of last year, keeping them right in the thick of things in the AFC South.
Houston did fire their Executive VP of Football Operations, Jack Easterby, in a surprise move on Monday.
