Greetings from the motherland! After a long and arduous flight in the dead of night, sneaking past multiple (2) time zones, I have reached the great homeland of all Texans fans. And tomorrow, I’m taking my nephew and my father to the game. A real [LAST NAME REDACTED] male bonding event for the three of […]
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. We’ve benefitted immensely from the last four draft classes, which yielded so many quality players that the Texans went from […]
The Las Vegas Raiders are playing their second straight road game (their final trip of the regular season) as they visit the Houston Texans on Sunday.

The Las Vegas Raiders are 2-12 after eight losses in a row. It has left fans looking to the draft to see if they can add their franchise quarterback of the future. It was another disastrous performance from the Silver and Black in a 31-0 loss. Next up, they face the hot Houston Texans on […]
The Las Vegas Raiders suffered two shutout losses already this season. Are the Houston Texans going to make that thrice, this Sunday? That’s certainly within the realm of possibility as the Week 16 matchup in NRG Stadium features the NFL’s best defense versus the league’s worst scoring offense. Producing just 196 points in 14 games […]
The Las Vegas Raiders have a Week 16 matchup against the Houston Texans, but this week’s mailbag is primarily focused on the 2026 NFL draft and the quarterback class, especially Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza. Q: If the Raiders wind up with the second pick in the draft, and a team such as the Giants has the […]
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 […]
It’s time for our weekly tradition of predicting the Las Vegas Raiders games. The Raiders are now 2-12, while I’m 12-2 predicting their games. It’s been pretty easy these days —- just pick whoever the Raiders are playing against has been a winning formula as the Silver and Black are mired in an eight-game losing […]
It is a bit disheartening when you know what is going to happen before it happens. That was the Arizona Cardinals matchup against the Houston Texans. We never doubted the Arizona Cardinals would lose. We never doubted that the Cardinals offense would do somethings down by four scores. We never thought that a practice squad […]
The Houston Texans are heating up more and more with each passing week, and have a great opportunity this weekend against the Las Vegas Raiders at home.

Literally, what is there to lose? Woody Marks is more banged up than a 16-year old’s first car. Nick Chubb’s ribs are cracked, and the ghost Joe Mixon is slated to be Charles Dickens’ fourth spirit of Christmas. Jordan was selected in the 6th round of the 2024 NFL Draft out of Louisville. Even though […]
