I don't know about this one obviously the Raiders play better at home but Farve might tear them a new one. 5 points would buy you a victory in all of their home games except for the Denver game, so I guess the Raiders are a decent enough play, just don't trust Rick Mirer to keep it close in this one.
I think playoff implications should inspire Favre to play better Monday plus didn't he have an injury to his thumb earlier in the year? I think the Lions game was a tough game for any team considering it was played on a Thursday due to Thanksgiving Holiday and the Lions were probably more motivated to win that game than any other game this year. The Arizona game was the Packers first road game of the year. Not trying to make excuses but I can see why G.B. lost those games. Raiders may be more interested in the battle for California next week against the Chargers.....if they are interested at all.

Favre's father had a heart attack or stroke while driving and died in the car crash. Favre's status for MNF is in doubt. Very tragic.

The Raiders were successful last week in defeating the Ravens, because Coach Callahan finally realised what it was that got him to the SB last year. That was airing it out. In the Ravens game, the Raiders led by an injured Mirer hit enough big passes leading to scores and the lead. This lead caused the Ravens to change their game plan of going with the run and instead turn to their weakness the pass. Jamal Lewis still though was able to rush for over 100 yards. So that win was not necessarily due to their shutting down Baltimores running game. Their change to an open Off , rather than ball control with Mirer . Is what led to their victory. If they are to succeed tonight, they will have to do the same to GB who also like the Ravens rely on the run. They will need to score early and then control the game with their rush attack. GB and Farve have not been so successful in pulling those great come from behind wins as in the past, and it showed in his throwing of many ints. Put the game in Bretts hands and he can get you a victory in a close game. But if he is to be relied upon early and often in this one, I dont see how he will be able to beat the Raiders as he is not in GB and he is not the young Farve of SB days. Also, with the death of his father hanging over him , have to wonder if that never say die attitude, may have been released from his spirits because of this tragic event. It may not be their all game long, giving the Raiders the advantage. Even if the old Farve shows up in the late mins of the game, it might be to late to overcome that Raider led constantly fueled by the hostile environment called Raider Nation.
Just thought i'd add this service play

Hey Guys:
We’re coming off two really strong weeks, winning 25 units and 14 units respectively. So hopefully we can keep this streak going. You guys might also be interested in knowing we have gotten such an overwhelming response to our 2 weeks of plays that we have now reduced it to only 1 week. So the people starting today will be the last 2 week group. Remember, we are only targeting 100 clients, and we have been able to grow so quickly that we might even stop the free picks completely in the coming months, we’re getting very close to our target. And, in order for us to provide the level of support we want to each of you that signs up we don’t want to get overwhelmed with people.
Anyway, to the new guys, if you have any questions feel free to email us prior to making plays. Can you all please email us back just verifying you got the picks, especially if this is your first day. We had a joker that told us today he didn’t get any of our plays for the last 2 weeks and wanted another 2, obviously we said NO!!
In the NFL today, we have one 5 unit play and an opinion. Remember opinion plays are not tracked, but we try to give plays on some of the larger games of the day.
