The Raiders record three sacks

This prediction is not too bold, but with how the Raiders struggled in their pass rush last week, they could use a big game. The Texans have a horrible offensive line, but the athleticism of Deshaun Watson bails them out sometimes.

I believe the Raiders coaching staff will create a gameplan to limit the scrambling of Watson, and the defense will get to the quarterback. Not only will the Raiders pass rush have a massive effect on the game, but Clelin Ferrell will get himself a sack, as well.

The Raiders pass rush is not as bad as it is made out to be, and they will show that against the Texans, recording three sacks in Sunday’s game. Look for not only Ferrell, but fellow rookie Maxx Crobsy to make an impact, as the Raiders take advantage of a Texans offensive line that is very beatable.
