Horrible matchup for Raiders.
They will be coming off a close loss or maybe even a win over the over-rated Jets which will only help Pats backers to get an even better #.
Couple reasons why this matchup spells doom for Oakland:
-The Raiders MUST be able to run the ball to be successful, with Wilfork and Haynsworth in the middle, the Raiders will struggle to establish anything and fall behind early.. And one thing I KNOW for a fact is this team cannot play from behind with Campbell and the receivers they have..
-On defense, the Raiders rely heavily on man coverage and pressuring the QB. This works pretty good against the Bronco's, but is a recipe for disaster against Brady and his 6 targets...
This Game will be over by the end of the third quarter...
I'm thinking the line will be Patriots -7.5 since the Raiders will most likely be 2-1 and playing at home.
PATRIOTS -9 or Better (October 2nd)
Good Luck
