It should be an intriguing matchup on Sunday afternoon in Oakland’s home opener as the Raiders and their high-powered
rushing attack faces one of the top rushing defenses in the league in the Jets.
New York opened as a 3.5-point favorite on Bodog’s NFL football odds. The Jets (2-0) were rather fortunate to win their home opener two weeks ago
over Dallas – thank you, Tony Romo! – but then looked
completely dominant in a 32-3 win vs. Jacksonville last week (so this is the
Jets’ first road game). New York held the Jags to 203 total yards, 11 first
downs and picked off Luke McCown four times. Mark
Sanchez, who was rested for most of the fourth quarter, finished 17 of
24 for 182 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. New York even scored an offensive TD in the first quarter for the first time
in 16 games. However, All-Pro center Nick Mangold suffered a
high ankle sprain in the victory and is very doubtful for this game as of this
writing. He has started 82 games in a row. Oakland appeared on the rise last year in winning all six AFC West games and
finishing with its first non-losing season in nearly a decade. And the Raiders
are probably kicking themselves for not being 2-0. After a close win in Denver
in the opener, the Raiders blew one in Buffalo last week in losing 38-35. The
Raiders blew a 21-3 lead, allowing the Bills to score on every possession (five
touchdowns) in the second half. The 38 points they allowed was the most in an
Oakland loss since 1998. The 25 first downs the Raiders allowed the Bills in the
second half were the second-most first downs in the second half of an NFL game
since 1991. The Raiders base their offense on Darren McFadden, who is
finally living up to his billing. McFadden is second in the NFL so far with 222
yards rushing. And Oakland may have found a rookie gem in WR Denarius
Moore. Moore had 171 total yards from scrimmage vs. Buffalo, catching
five balls for 146 yards and one touchdown, and also rushing the ball once for
25 yards. Get the best NFL Week 3 odds and props at the Web’s gaming leader
