Do the Raiders score this game?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Raiders (2-12) at Texans (9-5)
4:25 p.m. ET | CBS | HOU -14.5 (37.5 O/U)
What we're hearing on the Raiders: Whether QB Geno Smith (shoulder) or Kenny Pickett starts Sunday, it won't make much of a difference because of the team's struggles on the offensive line. Las Vegas has allowed at least four sacks in nine games this season. "[The Texans] have playmakers at all their spots, particularly [Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter] jump out," coach Pete Carroll said. "... We've got to make sure that we're doing a good job of keeping them from owning the game." -- Ryan McFadden
What we're hearing on the Texans: The Raiders rank last in points per game (14), and Houston has the NFL's No. 1 defense. The Texans are coming off a game in which they allowed 20 points to the Cardinals, and coach DeMeco Ryans said, "That game was not up to our standard." So expect Houston to try to shut out Las Vegas. -- DJ Bien-Aime
Stat to know: Sixty-five percent of Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty's rushing yards have come after contact, which is the highest rate in the NFL (among 70 players with 50-plus rushes this season). -- ESPN Research
Bold prediction: Anderson will record multiple sacks. My player-level sacks model gives Anderson a 22% chance to record at least 2.0 sacks this week, the highest of any player by a healthy margin. -- Walder
What's at stake: The Texans have a 95% chance to make the playoffs, according to ESPN Analytics. With a win, those odds jump to 97% (independent of other outcomes). They had just an 11% chance of making the playoffs in Week 9. See Playoff Machine. -- ESPN Research

Injuries: Raiders | Texans
Fantasy nugget: The Texans' defense has an opportunity to deliver a matchup-winning performance. Houston has allowed the fewest total yards (269.2) and points per game (16.3) this season, while the Raiders' offensive line has allowed the most sacks (54) in the league. This matters because the Texans are double-digit favorites, meaning Las Vegas will likely be playing from behind. Houston should have success regardless of who is under center for the Raiders. See Week 16 rankings. -- Moody
Betting nugget: The Raiders are 1-5 ATS in their past six road games. Read more. -- ESPN Research
Maldonado's pick: Texans 34, Raiders 10
Moody's pick: Texans 30, Raiders 10
Walder's pick: Texans 26, Raiders 10
FPI prediction: HOU, 80.3% (by an average of 13.1 points)
Matchup must-reads: QB Smith on Raiders future: 'I'm expecting to win a lot of games here' ... Texans' offense seems to have found stride with QB Stroud back

I'm shocked they have the Raiders scoring 10.
I have another shut out.

I’d like to see all rookies play the rest of the season, especially Miller. Gotta know before the offseason what we have.
Includes Eichenberg and Laube for me.

Raider's home is in Las Vegas, NV. From what I'm seeing it won't even be show in Reno NV. If so, it will be the first time this year. Think has anything to do not bothering with a truly bad team that rarely competes. Sad, blacked out in their home state, pathetic!

It would be pretty Raiders to win the next 3, finish with 5 wins and be drafting around 10.

They were blacked out for almost 2 decades in Oakland with the upper deck tapped off.
