Best Bet: Seattle Seahawks -3.5 (-110)
This is a massive coaching mismatch. Josh McDaniels against Pete Carroll is a wide gap. If it wasn’t for how terrible Nathaniel Hackett is, everyone would be talking about how bad McDaniels is. The Raiders have blown multiple 17 point leads this year. The Raiders have won 3 games - two of them have been against the Hackett-led Broncos. So while the Raiders are coming in with a big OT win from last week, do I really trust them to go into the hardest place to play in the NFL? Against the Seahwaks on a bye. The same Seattle team that was rolling prior to their loss in Germany. This is fairly simple, I’m taking the better team at home. That sounds weird to say but the Raiders have been atrocious. Seattle will certainly be able to move the ball against the Raiders. The run game will be working and I expect them to control the clock. The 12th man will be in full effect and I’m all over Seattle.
