The Oakland Raiders are currently one spot out of the playoffs, as they are sitting behind the Houston Texans for the final Wild Card spot. After Thursday Night Football, the Raiders will regain that final playoff spot, regardless of the outcome.
The Raiders are currently sitting at 6-4, tied with other AFC teams such as the Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans. The Colts currently lead the AFC South, with the Texans right behind them due to a tie-breaker. Those two teams will battle it out on Thursday Night Football in Week 12.
The Colts won the first matchup between the two, and in previous matchups have done a great job of slowing down Deshaun Watson.
