Las Vegas Raiders vs Houston Texans Betting Trends

Updated:Dec 16, 2025 1:59 AM EST

The upcoming NFL showdown on December 21, 2025, features the Las Vegas Raiders visiting the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium in Houston, TX. This Sunday football game is set to be an intense battle with significant betting trends to watch. Houston Texans, favored by -14.5 points with a total over/under of 37.5, aim to capitalize on their strong home record and effective offensive game. The Texans’ starting quarterback, C.J. Stroud, leads a balanced attack with 219.4 passing yards and 108.4 rushing yards per game, while their defense excels in limiting opponents to just 269.2 total yards on average.

Las Vegas Raiders enter the game as underdogs with a 14.5-point spread and a less impressive 2-12 straight-up record this season. Their offensive production averages 173.4 passing yards and 70.8 rushing yards per game, but their defense has struggled, allowing 330.1 total yards per game. The Raiders’ starting quarterback situation is uncertain due to Geno Smith being out, so backup Aidan O'Connell is likely to start, impacting betting insights significantly.

Key matchups include Houston's strong pass protection against Las Vegas’ pass rush, and the Texans’ run defense against the Raiders’ rushing attack. Houston's defense has been efficient in sacks and interceptions, which could pressure the Raiders' backup QB. The Texans have a solid ATS record of 8-6 overall and 5-2 at home, while the Raiders have struggled ATS at 5-9 overall and 2-5 on the road. The game will be broadcast on CBS, providing fans and bettors with excellent coverage.

Recent form favors Houston, with dominant wins including a 40-20 victory over Arizona and a 23-19 win against Buffalo. The Raiders have faced tough losses, including a 31-0 defeat to Philadelphia. These game stats and betting trends suggest Houston is a strong favorite, but the spread and total points offer intriguing betting opportunities.
