ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) Buffalo Bills quarterback EJ Manuel made his case to reclaim the starting job by going 7 of 8 for 170 yards and two touchdowns in a 43-19 preseason win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday.


Getting his turn to start in Buffalo's offseason-long three-way quarterback competition, Manuel hit Charles Clay for a 67-yard touchdown in the first quarter. He re-entered the game for two-plus series in the third quarter, and hit Tobias Palmer for a 37-yard touchdown as Buffalo improved to 2-1.


For Pittsburgh (1-3), Michael Vick hit Martavis Bryant for a 63-yard completion on his first snap from scrimmage after taking over for starter Ben Roethlisberger in the first quarter. It was Vick's debut with the Steelers, who signed the 35-year-old after backup Bruce Gradkowski sustained a season-ending left hand injury last week.


Vick finished 4 of 5 for 116 yards and was sacked once in two series.


REDSKINS 31, RAVENS 13


BALTIMORE (AP) - Kirk Cousins filled in capably for injured quarterback Robert Griffin III, throwing for 190 yards and a fluke touchdown.


With Griffin sidelined by a concussion, Cousins went 20 for 27 for 190 yards with an interception to help the Redskins take a 14-13 halftime lead. His second TD pass of the preseason came on a deflection plucked out of the air and carried into the end zone by Jamison Crowder.


Colt McCoy started the third quarter for Washington (3-0) and produced touchdowns on his first two drives, although both scores came against Ravens reserves and the last march covered only 20 yards following an interception.


McCoy completed 10 of 12 passes for 95 yards and two TDs, both to Rashad Ross.


Griffin's availability for the Sept. 13 opener against Miami is uncertain.


Baltimore (1-2) lost its second straight.


SEAHAWKS 16, CHARGERS 15


SAN DIEGO (AP) - Steven Hauschka kicked a 60-yard field goal with 16 seconds left. Hauschka had missed a 58-yard attempt with 3:46 remaining. His winning kick, from midfield, barely cleared the crossbar. He also made field goals of 40 and 27 yards.


Nick Novak, competing for a job with rookie Josh Lambo, kicked a 52-yard field goal midway through the fourth quarter to give San Diego a 15-13 lead.


Novak also made a 32-yarder goal in the first quarter. The Chargers (2-1) brought in Lambo because Novak struggled on kickoffs last year. Lambo kicked a winning 47-yarder as time expired at Arizona a week earlier, as well as field goals of 53 and 43 yards. Lambo had a 28-yard field goal against the Seahawks (1-2).


The Chargers had a scary moment when franchise quarterback Philip Rivers hit his throwing hand on a defender's hand late in the second quarter. Rivers then threw an incompletion in the end zone on third down and headed into the locker room early with a trainer.


EAGLES 39, PACKERS 26


GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - The Packers lost receiver Randall Cobb to a shoulder injury, while Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford threw three touchdowns passes.


Bradford was 10 of 10 for 121 yards before giving way to backup Mark Sanchez in the second quarter for Philadelphia (3-0). Acquired in the offseason from St. Louis, Bradford is coming back from tearing his left ACL twice in a 10-month span while with the Rams.


The Packers (1-2) keep losing players.


Cobb left after landing on his right arm while trying to catch a pass near the sideline on Green Bay's first offensive series. He is the second Packers starting wideout to get hurt in the preseason. Jordy Nelson was lost for the season with a right knee injury last Sunday against Pittsburgh.


Starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers didn't play.


BRONCOS 19, 49ERS 12


DENVER (AP) - Peyton Manning failed to get the Broncos into the end zone in seven possessions, but Denver rode its stifling defense and good ground game.


All that rest has turned into rust for Manning, who was doomed by protection problems and an interception in the end zone one week after penalties and dropped passes kept him from finding any rhythm.


Manning was 14 for 21 for 124 yards and was sacked three times, twice by linebacker NaVorro Bowman.


Manning isn't expected to play against Arizona next week, meaning he'll head into the regular season having directed just two scoring drives - both of them field goals - in 11 possessions this preseason.


BENGALS 21, BEARS 10


CINCINNATI (AP) - Andy Dalton sneaked in for a touchdown on Cincinnati's opening drive, then came out of the game as a precaution with a sore neck.


The Bengals (2-1) were looking for a lot more out of their starting offense after a three-turnover performance during a loss at Tampa Bay. Dalton threw two interceptions in that one.


He completed all six of his passes during a 16-play, 77-yard drive that consumed 9 minutes, 11 seconds. Dalton finished it with a sneak from inside the 1-yard line, and was kept on the sideline after that because his neck hurt.


Bengals quarterbacks completed their first 13 passes against the Bears (2-1), who again failed to get a touchdown out of their starting offense. Chicago's offense has managed five field goals and no touchdowns in the preseason.


COLTS 24, RAMS 14


ST. LOUIS (AP) - Andrew Luck threw his first touchdown pass of the preseason, helping the Colts get off to a fast start.


Nick Foles got his first TD pass in Week 3, too, hitting Chris Givens in stride on a 44-yard play in the second quarter for the Rams (0-3).


Adam Vinatieri had a big day for the Colts (1-2), hitting field goals on the first and last possessions of the half, plus his successful onside kick led to Andre Johnson's 32-yard reception for a 10-0 lead midway through the first quarter. Then he put it out of reach with a 55-yarder with 2:53 left.


Clayton Geathers recovered the onside kick and Luck hit Johnson five plays later, capitalizing on busted coverage in the middle.


BROWNS 31, BUCCANEERS 7


TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Josh McCown finished two long drives with touchdown passes to outplay rookie Jameis Winston.


Back in half-filled Raymond James Stadium and facing the team that released him to clear the way to select Winston No. 1 overall in this year's draft, McCown completed 17 of 23 passes for 117 yards. He showed why the Browns (1-2) think the 36-year-old quarterback can help them contend for a playoff berth.


Winston, meanwhile, struggled in his third preseason start. The 2013 Heisman Trophy winner was 6 of 15 for 90 yards, threw one interception and was sacked four times before leaving after one series in the third quarter.


VIKINGS 28, COWBOYS 14


ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Tony Romo threw two touchdown passes even as Dez Bryant again sat out for the Cowboys, and Minnesota's Teddy Bridgewater was perfect in the Vikings' win.


Bridgewater completed all seven of his passes for 76 yards and finally found a connection with his new receiver. Mike Wallace had three catches for 50 yards, including a 39-yard grab.


Cordarrelle Patterson had a 107-yard kickoff return for Minnesota.


Romo, who completed one pass for minus-1 yard in his only series while Dallas lost its first two preseason games, was 5 of 8 for 88 yards in his five series. Both TDs were in the second quarter, with a 60-yard catch-and-run by Terrance Williams.


Dallas led 14-10 when Romo threw his final pass, an 8-yard TD to Lucky Whitehead.


Bryant has dealt with a strained hamstring throughout camp and hasn't played since signing his new $70 million, five-year contract in mid-July.


DOLPHINS 13, FALCONS 9


MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) - Ryan Tannehill threw for 145 yards in less than a half despite working behind a makeshift offensive line.


Miami center Mike Pouncey left in the first half because of a knee injury, leaving the Dolphins (1-2) with only two starting offensive linemen at their regular positions. Pouncey limped to the locker room shortly before halftime and didn't return.


Tannehill went 15 for 19 for 145 yards and a touchdown before leaving shortly before halftime with Miami leading 7-3. His scoring pass covered 2 yards to Rishard Matthews.


In three exhibition games, Tannehill is 33 for 41 for 303 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions.


While Tannehill wasn't touched, counterpart Matt Ryan was sacked three times in four series.


JETS 28, GIANTS 18


EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - Ryan Fitzpatrick threw two touchdown passes and Antonio Cromartie scored on a 59-yard interception return in the waning seconds of the first half.


After struggling in place of the injured Geno Smith in the first two preseason games, Fitzpatrick hit 9 of 14 passes for 127 yards. He threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to Eric Decker and added a 24-yarder on a screen pass to Zac Stacy as the Jets (2-1) showed balance on offense.


Rashad Jennings scored on a 1-yard run for the Giants (1-2), whose first-team offense has produced 10 points in 12 preseason possessions. Eli Manning (12 of 16 for 90 yards) was having a good half until Cromartie stepped in front of James Jones and scored with 6 seconds left in the half.

Preview: Fever (17-11) at Shock (14-14)


Date: August 30, 2015 4:30 PM EDT

The Tulsa Shock's roller coaster of a season is on the verge of producing a playoff berth.


The streaky Shock can end a five-year postseason drought with a win Sunday against the Indiana Fever, who are close to securing a playoff spot as well despite a recent rough patch.


Tulsa (14-14) has won four straight and sits comfortably in third place in the Western Conference after Friday's 76-66 victory over Los Angeles. One more win guarantees the Shock, who will be relocating to Dallas-Fort Worth in 2016, their first playoff appearance since the franchise moved from Detroit in 2010.


The Shock last reached the postseason in 2009.


Tulsa had lost 10 straight prior to the streak as it adjusted to star guard Skylar Diggins' season-ending knee injury. The Shock had won eight in a row when Diggins tore her ACL June 28.


"I think when you go through adversity, if you learn from it, it can benefit you, and I think that's what we did," said center Courtney Paris, who posted 12 points and 13 rebounds against the Sparks and leads the WNBA at 9.9 rebounds per game. "And now we're in a situation where we're leading up to having a playoff position, and that's only going to help us."


Riquna Williams has helped Tulsa overcome Diggins' absence by averaging 19.8 points over the last six games. Backcourt mate Odyssey Sims is averaging 19.0 during the four-game surge.


Indiana (17-11) had the distinction of being the league's hottest team before consecutive home losses to Los Angeles and Atlanta this week. The Fever had won six straight and nine of 10 prior to Wednesday's 81-79 defeat to the Sparks.


Though still in excellent position to make the playoffs, Indiana leads fourth-place Washington by only a half-game in the competitive East.


After squandering an early 12-point lead against Los Angeles, the Fever were outscored 29-17 in the fourth quarter in Friday's 90-84 loss to Atlanta.


"We're too good of a team and have too many weapons to get in a situation like this where we lose based on turnovers, or we lose based on missed box-outs, or we lose because we're not doing our defensive principles," Tamika Catchings, who had 24 points against the Dream, told the Fever's official website.


Indiana has won a club-record four consecutive road games and has won four in a row in Tulsa. The Fever overcame 31 points from Williams to earn an 83-80 home win over the Shock on July 15.

Preview: Mercury (17-12) at Lynx (19-10)


Date: August 30, 2015 7:00 PM EDT

An uncharacteristically poor stretch has prevented the Minnesota Lynx from pulling away in the Western Conference.


They'll have another chance to do so when the Phoenix Mercury visit Target Center on Sunday for the final regular-season meeting between the slumping powerhouses.


Minnesota (19-10) has given the second-place Mercury an opportunity to seize control of the conference by losing four of its last five games, but Phoenix (17-12) hasn't taken advantage. Though the Mercury dealt the Lynx a 79-67 defeat Aug. 21, they've dropped four of six following Friday's 71-63 loss at Washington.


Offensive struggles, particularly from their core players, have triggered the Lynx's slide. They've been held under 70 points in all four recent losses and shot 37.3 percent in those games.


Maya Moore has shot 34.7 percent during the 1-4 stretch and fellow All-Star Lindsay Whalen has just 30 points over the last four games. Seimone Augustus, the other member of Minnesota's Big Three, has missed the last three with a sprained ankle.


The Lynx were ineffective on both ends in Friday's showdown with East-leading New York, which shot 50.7 percent en route to an 81-68 win at Madison Square Garden.


"For whatever reason, the combination of things that we've been really good at, right now, are escaping us," Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve said.


Minnesota has lost three of four 2015 meetings with the defending champion Mercury, though each defeat was in Phoenix. The Lynx cruised to a 71-56 win in Minneapolis on June 27 behind Whalen's 21 points on 8-of-13 shooting, continuing the series' recent trend of home dominance.


Including last year's West finals, the home team has prevailed in 10 consecutive matchups. The Mercury are 11-23 all-time at Target Center counting the postseason.


Phoenix held Moore to 5-of-17 shooting while being paced by DeWanna Bonner's 21 points in the most recent meeting.


"I thought that was one of our better games for the season," coach Sandy Brondello told the Mercury's official site. "We talk about staying together as a unit and I thought we really did that."


Bonner is averaging 19.0 points in the season series, but managed just 10 against Washington after netting 26 in Thursday's 81-80 victory at Connecticut.


Brittney Griner, who recorded her sixth career dunk Friday, has notched a double-double in three season appearances against the Lynx. The 2014 WNBA Defensive Player of the Year missed the first matchup while serving a league-issued suspension.

[CNOTES]

Preview: Sun (12-17) at Sky (18-11)


Date: August 30, 2015 7:00 PM EDT

The Connecticut Sun team that beat the Chicago Sky back in June is far different than the one that will be trying to avoid its eighth straight defeat Sunday night.


Chicago has recorded two wins over the last-place Sun since then, and it will be seeking to match a season high with a fourth straight victory.


Connecticut (12-17) has played all season without last year's rookie of the year Chiney Ogwumike due to injury, but it started by winning seven of its first eight to take the early lead in the Eastern Conference.


The Sun, who beat Chicago (18-11) on June 11 in that stretch, lost 16 of 21 since their early run and are in the midst of their second losing streak of at least six games. Kelsey Bone scored 22 points Saturday in an 80-66 home loss to East-leading New York as Connecticut dropped its seventh straight.


"We just wanted to make it a game," Bone said. "We tried to do some things differently. We focused a little more on defense. We gave up 43 points in the first half, so we wanted to buckle down on defense."


Other injuries have hurt Connecticut, too. Alex Bentley, who scored 25 points in a 77-74 loss to the Sky on July 2, has sat out the last four with an ankle injury. Elizabeth Williams has missed seven straight with a knee issue and Alyssa Thomas has been out the last six because of a shoulder injury.


Williams said she's not expecting to play in any of the remaining five games, and coach Anne Donovan isn't sure if Bentley or Thomas will be able to suit up again either.


Chicago clinched a third straight playoff berth with Saturday's 98-96 win over Atlanta despite not having star Elena Delle Donne, who sat out with a foot injury. Cappie Pondexter, who scored a season-high 29 points in a 96-76 win over the Sun in the last meeting July 12, finished with 22 as the Sky won a third straight game.


Chicago sits in second place in the East, 2 1/2 games back of the Liberty and one-half game ahead of Indiana.


With a postseason spot secured, it's unclear if Chicago will risk playing Delle Donne, the league's leading scorer at 23.9 points per game, in this contest. Delle Donne scored 27 points in the first meeting with the Sun but was held to 12 in each of the next two, which were part of the Sky's season high four-game winning streak from July 2-15.


These teams close out the regular season in Connecticut on Sept. 13.

Preview: Mystics (16-11) at Storm (8-20)


Date: August 30, 2015 9:00 PM EDT

The Washington Mystics are closing in on a playoff spot thanks to a lengthy win streak over Western Conference foes.


That streak will get put to the test in a place where the Mystics haven't won in over a decade.


The Mystics look for a ninth straight win against the West as they try to avoid a 10th consecutive road loss versus the Seattle Storm on Sunday night.


Washington (16-11) played without Kara Lawson and Tayler Hill in Friday's 71-63 victory over Phoenix, holding the defending WNBA champions to 40.0 percent shooting ahead of this four-game trip. Ivory Latta matched a season high with 24 points.


Lawson, averaging 9.6 points and a team-high 3.6 assists, was out with a back injury. Hill, averaging 7.3, was out with an ankle problem.


"With the injuries and going on a long trip and everything else, playing a really good team, that was one of our better defensive efforts of the year," coach Mike Thibault said.


The Mystics are enjoying a comfortable advantage over Atlanta and Connecticut for a playoff spot after their eighth straight win over the West. However, they have lost nine in a row at Seattle since a 78-71 victory July 13, 2005, for the longest active league win streak for a team over another at home.


Washington won 87-74 at home over Seattle (8-20) on July 29. Latta scored 20 points and Hill added 18 in a game the Mystics led by 20 after one quarter.


"Seattle gave us a pretty good game for a pretty long time in the game here," Thibault said. "They've been playing well, obviously their rookies have been playing better and getting some experience and that's a tough building to play in so it'll be a tough game on Sunday."


While the statuses of Hill and Lawson are in question, the Storm will be without rookie Ramu Tokashiki, who is with Japan's national team. Forward Abby Bishop has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury.


The Storm overcame those absences and used nine players in Friday's 83-69 home win over San Antonio. Former Mystics forward Crystal Langhorne had 22 points and 10 rebounds for her first double-double as Seattle moved to 2-2 on a six-game homestand.


"We knew we were down on numbers so we practiced like that all week," Langhorne told the club's official website. "We practiced with our different rotations, got used to playing with different people."


Seattle is 1-9 against the East. The Storm trail Los Angeles by 2 1/2 games for the West's final playoff spot.

Stars-Sparks Preview


The Los Angeles Sparks will get three consecutive home games as they try to protect their lead on a playoff spot, but they've been the WNBA's least successful team on their own floor.


A matchup with the league's only winless road team, the San Antonio Stars, could help the Sparks get their final homestand of the season off to a positive start Sunday.


Los Angeles (11-18) has a 2 1/2-game lead over fifth-place Seattle for the Western Conference's final postseason spot after a 3-1 road trip. The Sparks dropped the finale 76-66 to Tulsa on Friday even with Candace Parker shining once again.


Parker had 24 points and 11 rebounds for her 10th double-double in 13 games this season and seventh in a row. The Sparks are 8-5 since she ended a self-imposed hiatus July 29, including 3-2 at Staples Center.


Los Angeles is a league-worst 6-8 at home, most recently losing two of three games on a homestand Aug. 11-18. This stretch includes Thursday's matchup with Washington and next Sunday's game against Tulsa to conclude its home schedule.


The Stars (7-22) are 0-14 on the road and will be officially eliminated from the playoff chase if they lose Sunday. They have three chances left to avoid joining the 1998 Washington Mystics as the only teams in league history to fail to win a road game.


The Sparks beat San Antonio 86-81 on June 3 in the only meeting at Staples Center and have won three of four in the season series. Nneka Ogwumike had a season-best 27 points, but the Sparks' second-leading scorer (16.1 points per game) has missed the past five games because of concussion-like symptoms.


They didn't miss her in the most recent meeting with the Stars, winning 90-59 last Sunday. Parker had 20 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists, while Jantel Lavender and Ana Dabovic combined for 40 points on 16-of-21 shooting.


Lavender is averaging 20.5 points on 60.3 percent shooting in the season series but was limited to eight points in Friday's loss at Tulsa.


The Stars have dropped six in a row overall after Friday's 83-69 defeat in Seattle. They've failed to top 40.0 percent from the field in any of those games.


They shot 38.5 percent Friday despite Sophia Young-Malcolm hitting 8 of 13 and scoring 18 points. San Antonio shot 26.8 percent and went 2 of 11 from 3-point range in last week's defeat to Los Angeles.


The Stars will seek to fend off their first seven-game skid since losing their final nine in 2005.

Game of the day: Roughriders at RedBlacks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The Over has cashed in the past four games involving the Ottawa RedBlacks heading into their Week 10 matchup.


Saskatchewan Roughriders at Ottawa RedBlacks (-3, 51.5)


The Ottawa Redblacks look to get back on track when they host the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Sunday. The Redblacks have lost back-to-back games following a 30-24 setback to the Toronto Argonauts to fall four points behind Toronto and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the race for top spot in the East Division.


Ottawa dropped both meetings with the Roughriders last season, including a 35-32 double-overtime loss, and hopes to avoid falling further off the pace by earning its fourth home victory of the year. Saskatchewan remains the only winless team in the CFL after dropping a 34-31 decision to the Calgary Stampeders in Week 9. The Roughriders are mired in their longest losing streak since finishing the 1999 season with eight straight defeats, and six of their eight losses this year have come by four points or fewer. Saskatchewan is mathematically alive for the final playoff spot in the West Division as they sit six points behind Winnipeg and BC, but no team has ever started the year with eight straight losses and qualified for the postseason.


TV: 4 p.m. ET, TSN, ESPN2


LINE HISTORY: Books opened Ottawa -3. The total opened 52.5 but is down a full point to 51.5.


INJURY REPORT: Roughriders - SB Chris Getzlaf (Out, leg).


ABOUT THE ROUGHRIDERS (0-8 SU, 2-5-1 ATS, 5-3 O/U): Offensive lineman Randy Richards was slapped with the maximum fine by the CFL after he was ejected for his clothesline tackle on Calgary return man Tim Brown during the loss to Stampeders. The injury bug continues to bite the Riders as slotback Chris Getzlaf, who has caught four touchdown passes, was carted off the practice field after injuring his left leg while running a routine route Wednesday. Paul McCallum saw his extra point streak come to an end as he missed his first conversion since Sept. 25, 1993 after making 802 straight attempts.


ABOUT THE REDBLACKS (4-4 SU, 5-3 ATS, 5-3 O/U): Henry Burris completed his first 18 passes before finishing 32-of-36 for 426 yards to set a CFL record for completion percentage in a game with at least 35 attempts. Ottawa released its leading tackler Brandon McDonald on Wednesday after the defensive back committed his 10th infraction of the season - a momentum-changing objectionable conduct penalty - in the loss to the Argonauts. "It's been an issue and we just felt that enough was enough," Redblacks general manager Marcel Desjardins told reporters. "We couldn't have the lack of discipline continue when we've tried to correct it a number of times."


TRENDS:


* Over is 4-0 in RedBlacks last four games overall.
* Roughriders are 1-6-1 ATS in their last eighth road games.
* RedBlacks are 5-2 ATS in their last seven home games.
* Under is 38-17 in Roughriders last 55 games in August.


CONSENSUS: Fifty-six percent of users are backing the RedBlacks.

Sunday's Preseason Tips


August 30, 2015


Week 3 of the NFL preseason comes to a close today with a pair of games in New Orleans and Oakland. The “dress rehearsal” week saw several underdogs win outright on Saturday as the Browns, Vikings, Redskins, Jets, and Colts all cashed. Overall in Week 3, favorites own a 7-7 SU and 5-9 ATS record, while the ‘over’ is 5-8-1.


Texans at Saints (-4, 43 ½) – 4:00 PM EST


New Orleans searches for its first preseason victory today after dropping its first two exhibition contests by a combined five points to Baltimore and New England. Last week’s defeat to the Patriots as 2 ½-point favorites didn’t fall on the first-teamers, who jumped out to a 21-0 advantage in the first half before New England’s back-ups rallied for the 26-24 win. Drew Brees looked sharp by tossing two touchdown passes in his limited action, while the New Orleans quarterbacks combined for 373 yards passing.


The Saints have been automatic in the “dress rehearsal” games with Brees under center, winning and covering in the third week of the preseason eight straight times, including a home win over Houston in 2012.


The Texans hit the road for the first time in the preseason after splitting a pair of home games against the 49ers and Broncos. Houston cruised past San Francisco in the opener, 23-10 as three-point favorites, but were tripped up by Denver in a 14-10 loss as 2 ½-point favorites. The lone touchdown scored by the Texans came on an interception return, while the offense put up only 282 yards.


Under Bill O’Brien, the Texans are 5-1 to the ‘under’ in preseason action, including the pair of ‘unders’ against San Francisco and Denver. On the road in exhibition play, Houston is 1-1 SU/ATS, which includes a victory at Denver last August in the “dress rehearsal” game, 18-17 as seven-point underdogs.


Cardinals at Raiders (PK, 39 ½) – 8:00 PM EST


Both of these are coming off losses last week, as Arizona travels to the Black Hole to battle Oakland. The Cardinals are 0-2 SU/ATS in the preseason following losses to the Chiefs and Chargers at home, capped off by a 22-19 defeat to San Diego last week. Arizona closed as 3 ½-point favorites, but accumulated 292 yards of offense in a last-second loss to the Lightning Bolts, as Carson Palmer threw for 88 yards and a touchdown.


Since shutting out the Texans to kick off the 2014 preseason, the Cardinals have dropped five consecutive exhibition games, including a pair on the road at Minnesota and San Diego last season by a combined five points. The Cardinals are facing the Raiders in the preseason for the first time since 2012, when Arizona knocked off Oakland, 31-27 at home.


The Raiders cruised past the Rams to open up the preseason, but were humbled in a 20-12 setback at Minnesota last week as four-point underdogs. Oakland limited Minnesota’s offense to 260 yards, but the Raiders’ quarterbacks threw two interceptions in the loss. The positive side to Oakland’s offense through two weeks is the Raiders’ running game has racked up at least 100 yards in each contest.


Oakland has been a positive team to back at home in the preseason recently, compiling a 5-1 SU and 4-2 ATS record since 2012. Since 2008, the Raiders have struggled in Week 3 of the preseason, posting a 1-6 SU/ATS mark, with the only victory coming at the Coliseum in 2012 against the Lions as a three-point underdog, 31-20.
