NFL PRESEASON SELECTIONS for WEEK 2

LAS VEGAS RAIDERS (+1.5) over Houston Texans

5:00pm PST - THURSDAY 8/20/26

The injuries continue to pile up for the Texans as now they just lost backup QB Graham Mertz to a ACL tear. The backup QB room doesn’t look good right now and the Raiders have the clear advantage here when it comes to quarterbacks. We should see Kurt Cousins get more playing time here along with other offensive starters. The defense is expected to get more reps as well according to HC Klint Kubiak.

Despite HC DeMeco Ryans being 5-1 SU in preseason with the Texans before the Chargers game last week, he could find his team in another tough situation here at the QB position later in the game as Brett Rypien was just signed to the team and really has no familiarity with the offense. The Texans backup offensive line was atrocious in Week 1 and that could continue to be an issue here. If QB Aiden O’Connell is taking control with this Raiders offense, he should do just enough to set his team up with the victory in the 4th quarter if this happens to come down to the wire.

VALUE on the RAIDERS here for the reasons given! 💯

How do I receive picks?

  • All of our picks are sent in the Discord, you will be notified and pinged for each pick/write up that goes out. Once you sign up to our VIP membership, you will be given an exclusive role that unlocks access to this private section. We’ve built this system to be as simple as possible to have all your information in one place.

What’s an expected return on my investment?

  • If you started with me since the beginning back in mid 2023, you would be sitting around +363u (Updated June 2025). Nothing is guaranteed day after day but that’s why I like to zoom out and look at the long term growth because that’s what we’re building here. Other cappers tell you to bet half your damn bankroll on one parlay for a ‘get rich quick’ lotto ticket but I’m not here for that. We do things steady, consistent, and profitable.

How come you can’t text or email me the picks?

  • Over the years, the picks that I choose naturally get moved right away. Text and Email isn’t always reliable for getting you notified of the picks right away, Discord is almost instant and takes us no time to get you any live updates. It’s where you can talk to our customer support & get picks efficiently

Can I see your entire history for each sport?

  • Yes, all of my picks are tracked and uploaded daily by a third party tracker. We have a public spreadsheet sorted by date, sport, league, and units. My core rule is TRANSPARENCY, wins or losses will ALWAYS be on my record. My betting history is uploaded to daily so you can find my recent stats every morning.
