Houston and Oakland have met on four occasions since 2010 and oddly enough the road team won each of those times.  Houston and Oakland each have two wins apiece outright and Against The Spread, however, in both of the Raiders wins they failed to cover using the current number of -6. 

Tip to Consider

Neither team will be prepared for the pollution and altitude.  While the OVER is 5-1 in Oakland’s last six games overall, one definitely should take into consideration the potential for scoring restrictions Monday night. 

Azteca Stadium sits at 7,280 feet above sea level, higher than Denver’s Sports Authority Field at Mile High, which is by far the NFL’s most-elevated venue at 5,280 feet.  

“Azteca Stadium is the worst place to ever play a sporting event,” former United States national team soccer star Eric Wynalda told USA TODAY Sports.

Climate conditions resulted in two of three totals going UNDER on Sunday with strong winds in both Cleveland and the Meadowlands outside New York City.  The Packers-Redskins still managed to score above the posted total despite wind conditions as the lack of defense helped offset that factor.
