The Oakland Raiders have the fewest wins of any first-place team in the NFL,
but they're in the top spot nonetheless as they prepare to take on the Vikings
in Minnesota on Sunday.
Oakland improved to 5-4 straight up and 5-3-1 against the spread over the
weekend with a 24-17 road victory over the San Diego Chargers; that has them a
game up on the Chargers, Broncos, and Chiefs in the AFC West standings.
Carson Palmer went 14 of 20 for 299 yards through the air
for Oakland in that win, with two touchdown passes and one interception. On the
season Palmer now has a QB Rating of 71.5 with five TDs and seven INTs in three
games.
Michael Bush rushed for 157 yards and a score on 30 carries
for Oakland that day, while Denarius Moore caught five balls
for 123 yards and two touchdowns.
The Vikings continued to stumble in their last game, falling to 2-7 straight
up and 4-4-1 against the spread on Monday night with a 45-7 road loss to the
Green Bay Packers.
Christian Ponder went 16 of 34 for 190 yards passing with no
touchdowns and one interception in that loss for the Vikings, who had been
listed as 14-point underdogs for the contest. Adrian Peterson
was held to 51 yards and a score on 14 carries.
The last time the Vikings and Raiders met was in 2007, when Minnesota won
29-22 as a 4.5-point home favorite on the NFL betting
lines at the Bodog Sportsbook. That was the second consecutive OVER result
between the teams.
On the Super Bowl
futures list at the Bodog Sportsbook you can get the Raiders at 40/1 right
now, with the Vikings big longshots at 300/1 to make a miracle comeback. Get all your NFL odds at
