Raiders

History

Founded in 1960.Also Charter member of the AFL. Early on this team was one of the best in the league. Under owner Al Davis, Coach John Madden, and players such as Kenny"The Snake"Stabler, and Dave"The Ghost" Casper, this team dominated the league in the late 70's. Moved to Los Angeles then back to Oakland in the mid 80's and 90's.Athough it has had other good teams in the 80's and 2000's, Oakland has fallen on tough times as of late. Superbowl Appearances (5). Superbowl Wins (3).

2011 Season Preview

 

Owner Al Davis continues to amaze the fan base by getting rid of head coach Tom Cable in the offseason, following a respectable 8-8 season, including a perfect 6-0 mark within the division.
Last year’s offensive coordinator Hue Jackson assumes control of the sidelines and has a potent rushing attack at his disposal, as the team ranked second in the league by averaging 155.9 yards a game in 2010.
It will be interesting to see how an eye injury to running back Darren McFadden will affect the running game at the beginning of the season, as he’ll be sitting out two weeks to recover.

Florida Atlantic vs Florida betting

Florida Atlantic travels to The Swamp in Gainesville and will begin the final season under head coach Howard Schnellenberger, who began the program 13 years ago, taking it from obscurity into the major college football ranks

Oregon vs LSU Betting

LSU is a dominating 20-4 all-time against current members of the Pac-12 Conference, which includes a 3-0 mark under Miles. Playing inside of a dome will likely factor little in the Tigers ability to come out with a victory, entering with a 22-7 all-time mark when indoors. LSU has won

NFL Football Betting Futures

The ongoing negotiations between the NFL owners and the Players Association to arrive at a new CBA (collective bargaining agreement) continue to point towards a resolution that could potentially end a four-month owner imposed lockout of the players and reopen the league for business as early as the end of this week

NFL ProBowl Betting

Broncos vs Raiders Betting

I guess the coach wasn’t the main problem in Denver as they still got killed last week. Someone said McDaniel’s main problem was as a personnel guy, and

Raiders vs Chargers Betting

O.K. everybody sing now "San Diego Super Chargers, San Diego Super Chargers”. This team is finally playing like the team they can be. Watch out now because this team

Raiders vs Steelers Betting

Hasn’t Oakland been one of the pleasant surprises this year? I heard someone say “the NFL is more exciting when the Raiders are playing good

Chiefs vs Raiders Betting

Break out the Raiders. O.K. be honest, how many of you guys thought that both Oakland and the Chiefs would be fighting for a division

Raiders vs Broncos betting

Denver should have won that game last week against the Jets. The Jets only have only 2 plays, hand it off and throw it up for grabs and hope for a penalty

Raiders vs 49ers Betting

San Francisco has let us down all year, and it might be time to jump off their bandwagon. We still feel that they have a shot to win the pathetic NFC West. We told

Chargers vs Raiders Betting

This is a trap game for San Diego. They played great last week, but have struggled on the road this year. Oakland has quietly play pretty good

Rams vs Lions Betting

Another great week. We went 7-3 and hit on our big teaser bet. That makes it year to date, 27-14-1 and 3-1 on Teaser betting. We will start the week

Raiders vs Cardinals Betting

The Raiders played hard last week and found a way to win. They Cardinals didn’t bother to show up and found a way to lose. I saw Kurt Warner on “Dancing with the stars”

Wisconsin vs. Austin Peay Betting

After a surprising Week 3 performance in which Wisconsin barely squeaked out a 20-19 win over Arizona State and needed a blocked extra point to do it, the Badgers get

Rams vs Raiders Betting

Both of these teams are better then people think. One team showed that last week, one did not. It is very hard to take Oakland this week and lay 4 points. That being said

Raiders vs Titans Betting

Tennessee played great at the end of last year after a terrible start. They have one of the best coaches in football, play good “D” and run the ball well. All recipes for winning football games.

Florida vs. Cincinnati Pick

With emotions running high on both sides of the ball, one team (Florida) will benefit greatly. The other will suffer an embarrassing loss on New Year’s Day. Cincinnati is playing without former head coach Brian Kelly, who led the Bearcats to significant success in recent years

Raiders vs Browns Betting Pick

The Browns have started to play surprisingly better the last few weeks. It is hard to believe that they like Eric Mangini enough to try to save his job. There is however a lot of talent on this team, that hasn’t performed up to their potential

Virginia Tech vs Virginia Pick

Virginia coach Al Groh has beaten the Cavaliers’ arch rival Hokies just one time in his nine years at UVA. He and the Cavaliers look to make that number two and possibly avoid his firing this Saturday in Charlottesville. The Hokies are in a down year at 8-3 and will not contend for the ACC Championship,

Oklahoma State vs Oklahoma Pick

Not quite the same allure as the Red River Rivalry between Texas and Oklahoma, but this week’s Bedlam Rivalry game is Oklahoma State’s Super Bowl. The Cowboys have had a tremendous season so far and Oklahoma is sitting at 6-5, ensured of its worst season since 1999

Nevada vs Boise State Pick

Boise State doesn’t play too many home games where they are only 14 point favorites, but that is exactly what they are this week when Nevada comes to play on the blue turf. Boise State needs a win this week, and badly. Though the Broncos are 11-0, their only hope for a BCS appearance

Alabama vs Auburn Pick

Despite an 11-0 record up to this point, Alabama still realistically needs to win its next two games to get into the National Championship. With Florida a perfect 11-0 as well, the Crimson Tide will need to beat Auburn this week and Florida in the SEC Championship

Raiders vs Cowboys Pick

At first glance you might think that it was quite a shocker that Oakland beat Cincinnati last week, but at we said the Bengals were coming off their biggest win in years and might be flat. We also felt that Jamarcus Russell was hindering the Raider offense and the switch to anybody but he was the correct move

Bengals vs Raiders Pick

Everybody thought we were crazy when we bet Cincinnati to win their division before the season, but I quess we weren't so crazy. It was simply a process of elimination. There were only 4 possibilities. It wasn’t going to be Cleveland, Pittsburgh was drinking champagne, and at the time I placed my bet Baltimore’s only good receiver was in retirement

Chiefs vs Raiders Pick

What the hell is going on in Oakland lately.Even for a team with a history of excentric players this is extreme. The whole Tom Cable saga, Jamarcus Russel,Al Davis and the rest of this dysfunctional family is the worst run team in the NFL.

Raiders vs Chargers Pick

After beating Philly 2 weeks ago the Raiders lost by 38 points to the Jets at home.San Diego got back on track by beating K.C. by 30.On paper this game is no contest. We have spoken before about, doing the opposite of common sense in sports betting and having some balls, but even I don’t have enough courage to take Oakland

Chargers vs Dolphins Pick

Both of these teams have problems. Miami really can’t play offense at the N.F.L. level. They look like a college or high school team at times, with their “Wildcat” offense and their quarterback who throws the ball like a shot put. Another quarterback, who has a funky delivery is Phillip Rivers

Packers vs Rams

The next 2 games that we are picking, we are going a little bit out on a limb. There are 2 home dogs that both played very well last week as huge underdogs. Both teams had opportunities to win outright but didn’t.

Cowboys at the Raiders - Preseason 2009

Led by Tony Romo, the Cowboys finished a disappointing 9-7 last season (7-9 AGAINST THE SPREAD), putting the pressure on the third year starter and head coach Wade Phillips.

Stop thinking about rain by itself as a bad weather indicator. Look at the mix of wind, turf quality, and precipitation. It's the mix that matters, not one third of the mix.
