    I Just put a 1.5 units on the Raiders to win the AFC West at +500

    Carson Palmer, DMac, two speedy receivers on the outside, a new coach, no AL Davis, a rusty Peyton Manning, a broken up Ryan Mathews and missing Vincent Jackson, and a flash in the pan Matt Cassell and a Chiefs coach who got the gig by default. What's could go wrong? Feedback. Thanks.

    Where did you get that line? 5D has it at +635. Good value, and they have a shot.

    who will catch the passes?

    heyward-bust-bey will drop 50 passes that hits him between the numbers. moore will get hurt again. they have tightends who can't catch a cold let alone a pass.

    they need to sign chad Johnson and cooley to have any chance.

    lol...the Raiders will go 5-11. That Carson Palmer trade is one of the worst trades in NFL history. The guy was/is damaged goods....can't throw anymore.

    palmer isn't the problem. he was among league leaders in comp%, yds, tds and completions over 20yds.

    the problem is the receivers. i tuned into a raiders game couple weeks ago and watched heyward-bey drop an easy touchdown and the te juggle every pass.

    That Division is a crap shoot. The Raiders were 10-6 ATS last year. if they stay healthy(and thats a big IF) they could win that GARBAGE Division . the ONLY reason Denver made the playoffs was because the Raiders lost their last game. +635 is a GREAT price!!!

    Palmer is an interception machine. No D-line. No O-line. Dmac the only real offensive threat. DHB has hands like feet. Jacoby Ford plays scared. Raiders finish dead last.

    That means you have more faith/confidence in Cassell and Norv. Good luck to you.

    Yep. If playing the percentages the Raiders would be a no go.

    to me, tho, it's not about percentages.

    that franchise is shit b/c of Al Davis.... and he left a shit cloud hanging over the team


    they won when they had Gruden b/c Gruden is a winning coach.

    there is nothing that says the Raiders will be very good or better than Denver or San Diego


    bol to you, tho

    The play seems fine even though you can get better numbers, I just don't personally like having money tied up that long.

    The health of McFadden will be the biggest factor in the Raiders having a chance to win the division. If he's healthy all year +600 is great value, if he isn't, they won't win.

    Raiders have the least amount of question marks in the division. What a division when the Raiders have the most solid outlook coming into a season.

    Too much focus on skill positions of other teams... I don't think losing Vincent Jackson will hurt the Chargers that much, for example. Definitely not enough to provide any more value for the Raiders...

    You think Vincent Jackson's replacement Robert Meacham makes the chargers better?

    Feedback? Oakland will finish last in the division. Easily. The shittiest team there.
    Mcfadden won't have as big of a year....Chiefs may take the division in my opinion if not 2nd to broncos.

    Nope. I said they aren't worse. You really think one medium sized downgrade at WR on the Chargers is going to give you extra value on the Raiders? You don't think they are going to spend that large amount of cap space they saved by letting Jackson go to upgrade at other positions?

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not necessarily saying it's a bad play, but I question your reasoning

    Yea, I have the Broncos winning the AFC West. I placed a bet on them during the preseason.

    You can't trust teams with either poor offense, poor defense or too many penalties.
