This is a 10* UNDERDOG GAME OF THE MONTH on the Oakland Raiders.
It's do or die for the Raiders, an 0-3 start and they'll be looking ahead to next season. And unfortunately for them, that's going to be reality, while I don't foresee the visitors being able to take this game outright, I do think they'll make it a lot more competitive than what the oddsmakers are leading us to believe and look for them to sneak in through the back door with the large spread they've been afforded on Sunday. After losing their opener to Miami, the Patriots would bounce back with a 30-7 win over the Vikings last Sunday. There are things to be concerned about though if you're a New England fan, the offense is stagnant, Tom Brady and company would finish with a total of 292 yards, the team was fortunate to get a blocked FG for a TD as well as four INT's to avoid the 0-2 start to the season. Brady finished with a sub-par 149 yards and ranks 28th in the league in QB rating at 78.8, the lowest of his career. New England is in fact 25th or lower in a number of offensive categories, including yards per game. The Patriots have also been uncharacteristically sloppy, they have 24 infractions accepted against them for a league-high 263 yards so far. I'm not going to sit here and try to convince you that Oakland is a great team that just hasn't lived up to expectations yet, that's definitely not the case. But I do think that it's better than what it's shown so far. Certainly the Raiders will look to tighten up with their run defense, they gave up 188 yards to Houston last week and will be leaning heavily upon former Pro Bowlers LaMarr Woodley, Justin Tuck and Antonio Smith. The offense looked inept in its first game as rookie Derek Carr had just 158 yards in the Raiders opening loss to the Jets, but looked much better against Houston's tough defensive unit, finishing with 364 last week. It's significant to note that Oakland is a perfect 2-0 ATS the last two years as a road underdog of 10 points or more, while New England is 1-5 ATS in the same time frame as a favorite of 10 points or more. Simply too many points to be giving up to this desperate team in my opinion, play on OAKLAND.
