This week’s picks

Derek Carr touchdown passes O/U: 1.5

■ Vincent Bonsignore: Over — Better chemistry with Adams and return of Renfrow helps.

■ Ed Graney: Over — A bye week of resting the ol’ trigger will produce at least two scores.

■ Adam Hill: Under — Red zone defense is the strength of the Texans. The Raiders’ red-zone offense? Not so much.

■ Sam Gordon: Over — Two touchdowns isn’t much to ask for against the lowly Texans.

■ Heidi Fang: Over — He seems to be good for about two per game.

Davante Adams receiving yards O/U: 83.5

■ Vincent Bonsignore: Under — The Raiders’ run game will drive the day.

■ Ed Graney: Over — I mean, who else is there at which to aim passes?

■ Adam Hill: Over — It would be surprising if the offensive coaching staff didn’t spend the bye week coming up with more ways to get Adams involved.

■ Sam Gordon: Over — Carr and Adams have seemed to establish their rapport, as evidenced by consecutive 100-yard outings for the perennial Pro Bowl wideout. ■ Heidi Fang: Over — Time to see that connection continue to connect.

Josh Jacobs rushing yards O/U: 81.5

■ Vincent Bonsignore: Over — Jacobs will take advantage of the Texans’ weakness.

■ Ed Graney: Over — He can’t go for a third straight career high, can he? Can he!

■ Adam Hill: Under — He’s on an absolute tear and should find success against a terrible run defense, but from a betting perspective, this number is inflated.

■ Sam Gordon: Over — Pounding the rock the past two games has helped the Raiders produce their two highest-scoring outputs.

■ Heidi Fang: Over — Keep the wheels cranking.

Dameon Pierce rushing yards O/U: 64.5

■ Vincent Bonsignore: Over — Houston will ride its rookie back. ■ Ed Graney: Over — I’m biased here. Need the fantasy league points.

■ Adam Hill: Over — He is emerging as one of the only true threats for a mediocre Texans offense.

■ Sam Gordon: Over — The rookie has topped this mark in each of his past four games.

■ Heidi Fang: Over — Both lead running backs in this game are beasts to contain.

Brandin Cooks receiving yards O/U: 62.5

■ Vincent Bonsignore: Under — The Raiders will limit the Texans’ main threat.

■ Ed Graney: Over — Yours truly is this close to suiting up in the Raiders’ secondary.

■ Adam Hill: Over — The absence of cornerback Nate Hobbs could be a real problem for the Raiders, and the Texans might be behind and throwing a lot in the second half.

■ Sam Gordon: Over — A banged-up secondary should create opportunities for Houston’s top receiving threat.

■ Heidi Fang: Under — I’ve been underwhelmed with Cooks.
