The Las Vegas Raiders can steer their season back on track with a win over the Houston Texans. Here are our bold predictions for Sunday’s game.

The Las Vegas Raiders have a much softer schedule on the horizon as they look to rebound from their 1-4 start to the season. The Houston Texans, by all means, are a much more inferior opponent and the Silver and Black should confidently get its second win of the season at their expense.

If the Raiders can’t put together an all-around confident performance this week, then the hopes for a light at the end of the tunnel are slim to none.

Simply put, Week 7 must be the “get-right” week for the Raiders, and it could necessitate some big performances from key contributors.

It feels like a broken record at this point, but beating Houston is by all means a must-win game for this franchise. Ahead of Sunday’s contest, here are our bold predictions as the Raiders look to beat the Texans.
