Raiders-Texans Betting Update, Latest Line Movement, Starting QBs?

Gambling911.com has your Raiders-Texans updated betting news, things you need to know before placing a wager on today’s game.

Who Will Be The Starting Quarterbacks?

There was a question as to which quarterbacks would be starting for either of these two teams coming into this game.

Brock Osweiler will start at quarterback Saturday against the Oakland Raiders in Saturday’s 4 pm EST AFC wild-card playoff game, head coach Bill O'Brien announced Tuesday.  Osweiler was benched in favor of Tom Savage, who is being ruled out for this playoff game due to a concussion.

Meanwhile, the Raiders quarterback situation looks even bleaker.

Derek Carr went down a few weeks ago with a fractured fibula, thus forcing Matt McGloin into the starting spot before he injured his shoulder last week.  This means Connor Cook takes to the field on Saturday as a third string quarterback.
