My full betting preview in link below. Sounds like CJ Stroud and the starting OL & Marks will be starting. Not sure if that means he will have Nico Collins at his disposal, but after Higgins season ending injury yesterday I bet they are a bit cautious. The Hou starting defense is expected to rest tonight which is massive (my plan was to wait until they were done to lock in Raiders live). But with the spread flipping from LV -1.5 to LV +1.5, going to just lock it in now. https://www.actionnetwork.com/article/p/604417106
