The Oakland Raiders have the #3 yardage defense in the NFL ... the #5 third
down defense in the NFL ... stunningly, they've got the fourth best defense when
it comes to avoiding penalties too. Weren't the guys in silver and black
supposed to be dirty players?! What's even more amazing is that they're doing this while being on the field
much more than normal defenses. The Raiders offense is 8th worst in time of
possession. That means the Raiders are shutting down opponents at a pace
superior to most of the rest of the league even though they're on the field
about 1-2 minutes of playing time more each week. This will put Oakland in position to "arrive" very quickly once they get a
real quarterback and some semblance of an offense. For now, it's putting them in
position to play a lot of Unders. Raiders games are 3-9 to the Under this
season. It would be 2-10 to the Under but last week's game with Houston saw two
non-offensive touchdowns and other cheap points from a combined seven turnovers
in the game. If you throw out non-offensive scores, the last eight Raiders games would
have landed on 23, 35, 30, 30, 16, 19, 29, and 16. That's an average of about 25
points per game on the scoreboard. Unders unquestionably have some value
in Raiders games right now. Where should you bet those unders? There's a reason that every serious
