Pick via FOX Sports NFL Analyst Geoff Schwartz:

I'm riding with the Texans and the points in this matchup.

It's always best to take the underdog when two teams that are close in talent are playing each other. Both the Texans and Raiders are coming off a bye. Both of these teams have one win. The Raiders rank 24th in DVOA, while the Texans rank 28th. The Raiders have more playmakers on paper, with Davante Adams and Maxx Crosby leading the way. However, don't sleep on some of the young talent playing well for the Texans, like running back Dameon Pierce and rookie defensive backs Jalen Pitre and Derek Stingley Jr.

The Texans have covered four of their five games, while the Raiders have only covered two games.

I'll take the Texans getting a full touchdown here.

PICK: Texans (+7 at FOX Bet) to lose by fewer than 7 points (or win outright)
