Yes. Lesson learned.Said it before, will say it again...............spotting these kind on points in the NFL is asking for disaster. I never, never, never, ever, never spot DD points in the NFL! If you do, you will be on the short end more often than not....................regardless of who is playing. GL2 all.
if ur a novice following the nfl then i will excuse this comment. if u read what i typed. div games are worth extra in weightings when the tie breakers are inherent. next is conf wins. raiders are in a non conf game on the road. which confirms the author of this posts reasoning. the lookahead is to denver- despite raiders likely having no chance of being in the playoffs but it is always sweeter when u can knock a div rival off their perch.
i am done writing in this thread and teaching stuff. this is why i only post plays without a w/u
Last year, Week 9, 0-7 TB went into SEA as -16 dogs. TB lost in OT 27-24. No one gave TB a chance.
This year, Week 9, 0-7 OAK goes into SEA as -?? dogs.
LOL you forget that TB played Miami the week after. NOT a divisional rival.
This is the same scenario as Denver/Jets. Everyone thought Jets would show up. They didn't. Who did they show up for? Their nemesis the following week. PATS!
IF my prediction is correct. Seawhks smash them and makes public perception that NO WAY Oakland covers spread vs Denver next week. And I assure you, They WILL!
