The Houston Texans are looking to secure a third straight double-digit winning season under DeMeco Ryans, and will have a chance to complete the task when they face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 16 at NRG Stadium.

With a victory, Houston will inch one step closer to securing a playoff bid while also competing for the AFC South title.

The Texans’ Week 16 game will air on CBS at 3:30 p.m. CT on Sunday. According to BETMGM, the Texans open as a 14.5-point favorite at home over the Raiders, with the over/under set at 38.

Houston is coming off a promising 40-20 victory over the Arizona Cardinals at home, extending its winning streak to six games. Even with the offense stalling at times in the red zone, the Texans managed to score eight times on the afternoon, including on the opening drive in just 49 seconds with a pass over to Nico Collins.

C.J. Stroud finished with a promising line of 260 passing yards and three touchdowns. Jawhar Jordan, who was called up from the practice squad, became the first player in 2025 to total over 100 rushing yards in a game for Houston.

Collins made franchise history, becoming the third player to total three consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons, joining Hall of Famer Andre Johnson and former Pro Bowler DeAndre Hopkins. The defense forced two turnovers, including one on the end zone caused by Kamari Lassiter.

Meanwhile, the Raders’ woeful season continued to spiral out of control on Sunday with perhaps the worst loss of the season. After totaling less than 100 total yards of offense, Las Vegas all but waved the white flag on its matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles in a 31-0 defeat.

Over the last three games, the Raiders have been outscored 86-31. They lost eight straight, with their lone win since Week 1 coming against the two-win Tennessee Titans.

The Texans, who currently remain a half-game back in the AFC South standings, could gain ground with a win on Sunday. If anything, Houston should still be one step closer in clinching a playoff spot, even if it means being left out of the division race for another week.
