Looks like this game will open with the Raiders as a 3pt home favorite. Typically means this is a pick'em game. I'm wondering how this game got scheduled for the Sunday Night game of the week. I think it will be fun, but I have an interest.
Anyway, I think this will be a low scoring, ugly, mistakes filled defensive battle as 2 struggling offenses bang their heads against the brick wall. Any other takes on this one? Any breakout predictions?
It's GameDay! Let's GO!!
Davonte Adams steals Wallace and Peterson souls on national TV? Sounds fun!
If anybody does it will have to be Adams, right?Quote:

Yeah. They might find a way to stop Adams and have Meyers go off for 150 yards and two TDs. It would be on brand.Quote:

It's more Jacobs that concerns me than the Raiders passing game. Chubb broke some big runs last week and Josh Jacobs is capable of the same. I also heard/read Adams and Meyers are not for sure playing tonight.Quote:

I still remember when we were HATED rivals.Quote:

He reminded me of that guy from Schoolhouse Rock, "Hooray! I'm for the other team!" LOL!
I was the lone Raiders fan all through high school. We won the 76/77 Superbowl and I remember wearing my #12 jersey (Snake) to school the following Monday. Good times...lol.Quote:
