Now with Mcdaniels in St Louis its gonna take time for Orton to get adjusted to a whole new offensive scheme. I think it was very pre mature to fire him and bring in Fox and I don't assume that its just gonna be such a fluid transition. I personally love taking pts with teams that have stud RB's because it opens up the passing game so much. Look at Minnesota yesterday as a prime example of that. They were getting 9.5 with the best RB in football and covered that spread with ease. Obviously 3 pts are a lot less then 9.5 either way I think the same rules apply. I have a feeling Orton does not look good tonight and Raiders play inspired, however only time will tell...
