With Houston dealing with injury issues and rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson set to make his first NFL start on the road at Cincinnati on Thursday night, the line on the game shot up from Bengals minus-3 to minus-6½ this week before settling at minus-6 on Thursday afternoon.
The Chiefs, Rams and Vikings are the only favorites to cover and go over the total.
The Raiders had a playoff-like performance last week to defeat the Titans in Nashville. It should be a lot easier for Week 2 with the Raiders (1-0) opening the home schedule against the lowly Jets (0-1), who many believe could flirt with an 0-16 season.
Week 2 of the NFL regular season kicks off tonight with Thursday Night Football and the Houston Texans visiting the Cincinnati Bengals.
It isn’t unusual for tempers to flare when the Oakland Raiders are on the football field. On Thursday, the team saw how tense things can get at a public meeting.
