Oakland Raiders +7
When betting with your own money, be careful. When betting with the Books money, take a chance. With that in mind this is more a hunch than a banker.
There is no point in me going over the myriad of reasons and stats why Oakland cannot win this game. Suffice to say that I am not sold on The Ravens recent form, particularly their Offense. Before their 3 game home comfort zone everyone was agreed they were a team with no Offense and a good but beatable Defense if left on the field too long. All of a sudden were are led to believe that Anthony Wright is the answer to all baltimore’s QB woes. So deeply hidden was this treasure that the astute coaching staff had him projected as No3 on the roster.
The first home game against Seattle ( 1-5 on the road) they needed a Houdini like comeback to win, which said more about Seattle’s Defense than anything else.
Also the much vaunted D gave up 41pts.
The second home game against the pathetic 49ers (0-6 on the road) was hailed as a sign that The Ravens had returned to the top level/
The Third game, which they won on merit, was against The Bengals who were playing their 3rd road game in succession and according to the stat boys on here, would have been a miracle had they won.
The Ravens road form is less impressive (2-4) with wins in San Deigo and Arizona, which apparently was another got out of jail win. While The Raiders are a bad team, they have played better at home (3-3)
The curved ball Sunday could be the weather, rain and 25mph winds forecast.
While this will not help Oakland either, I think it will limit Baltimore’s scoring chances. The bet I am actually having is selling The Ravens @ 42 pts( 25 pts win 1 pt per pt) so even if they win I have a cushion of 17pts before I start losing.
Best of Luck on your plays Sunday, any opinions are welcome. Please, no Stats, we all know what that points to.
