Oakland Raiders @ Seattle Seahawks u36.5 (-110)
The Seattle Seahawks have played well defensively this preseason while the Oakland Raiders are coming off an embarrassing 45-7 home loss, and the fact that the Oakland starters figure to see much more action here than the Seattle starters should ensure a low scoring game.
The Raiders were just pitiful in what was supposed to be a Week 3 dress rehearsal for the regular season, but then again, maybe it was an accurate dress rehearsal and they really are that bad. Regardless, many of their starters spoke up after the game about wanting to play in this preseason finale, meaning that the regulars figure to play much longer than originally planned.
While this may or may not actually give Oakland a chance to win this game against a Seahawks team that could not care less, it does almost certainly ensure that this will be a low scoring game, as any success the Raiders have will be hard earned vs. a Seattle defense that is allowing just 12.3 points per game this preseason.
This outcome will be determined by what happens on the Seattle offensive end, and frankly, we do not expect much there either. The Seahawks have nothing else to prove this preseason with their 3-0 start, and while a perfect preseason would be nice, it is more important to keep the starters on the sidelines this week with the regular season beginning next week.
In fact, Seattle Coach Jim Mora is already publicly underplaying the perfect record, as he says he will play his fringe players that are on the bubble for the vast majority of the game, as he seems more interested with evaluation than with trying to win this meaningless contest.
