Raiders +9 at home week one.. Any thoughts?

Is he going to be out for sure?

I recalled seeing it the other day but now it is unlisted Im trying to find an injury report he mightve been upgraded though now that Im looking

I usually try to stay away from teasers but Id be very surprised if a Chargers -3/NE -4.5 teaser didnt hit Monday night, barring weather. I mean I already tried thinking last year that Oakland was ready to turn things around and come out strong on opening Monday night and they got fucking stomped by a Broncos team which in hindsight was much weaker than this SD team will be this year

the raiders do not cover

if u can get +10 then its a solid bet ..a td and a fg should be enough imo.

they always get smacked first game opening monday night in recent memory,

raiders have struggled bad in week 1 the past few years

2008
DEN 41 @ OAK 14

2007
DET 36 @ OAK 21

2006
SD 27 @ OAK 0

2005
OAK 20 @ NE 30

2004
OAK 21 @ PIT 24

2003
OAK 20 @ TEN 25

2002
SEA 17 @ OAK 31

last time they won week 1 game was 2002 Rich Gannon was the starting qb and they went to the super bowl that year

BUT I am still taking the Raiders +10 their defense looks good, running game looks strong. SD has a big question mark on how LT will return, they made the playoffs last year but with an 8-8 record and with Denver blowing the last few games of the season. Everyone is expecting a Charger blow out but think the Raiders at home at +10 is the better bet.
