NFL Week 11 - Monday Night Preview

Houston Texans (6-3) @ Oakland Raiders (7-2) - Estadio Azteca (Mexico City)

The Raiders take a home game to Mexico City as they take on the Texans on Monday Night Football. The Raiders are surging right now and another victory will keep them in 1st place in a highly competitive AFC West. Whilst Derek Carr is having an outstanding year it was the Raiders running game in Latavius Murray and Jalen Richard that gave the Raiders a huge 30-20 victory in their last start over Denver. The Texans won for the 1st time on the road all season last week by beating Jacksonville 24-21 last week. With the Estadio Azteca at high altitude it will be interesting to see how both teams cope as they look to remain leaders in their respective divisions. 

Verdict - Raiders 24 Texans 17

I think the Raiders can keep the roll going because I think Derek Carr is a far better quarterback then Brock Osweiler. However I think the Texans defence is one of the best in the league and they can keep this game tight for long periods.
