We’ll find out on Sunday if the Oakland Raiders (7-5) are the team to finally hand the Green Bay Packers (12-0) their first loss of the season.
This one will be a home game for the Packers and things didn’t go well for the Raiders in a 7-38 loss the last time they had to travel to Green Bay back in 2007.
The Packers were 41-7 winners in Oakland in 2003, and Green Bay managed to cover the point spread while sending the total over the number in both head-to-head meetings.
The Packers opened up as 10.5-point favorites but have since been bet up as high as 11.5. Although Green Bay has won a ton of money for sports bettors with an 8-4 mark against the point spread odds this season, it is worth noting that the Raiders are also 8-4 in that category.
The total of 55 has been wagered down in a big way and can be found at 51, 51.5, and 52 depending on which sportsbook you bet with.
Green Bay has been good to sports bettors this year, but they have only covered in 1 of their last 3 games.
The Packers have gone over the total in 5 of their previous 6 games this season, as well as 8 of 12 on the year.
Oakland has also been a nice over team and has exceeded the total in 4 of their past 5 games.
The Raiders lost 14-34 in a one-sided blowout against the Miami Dolphins last weekend but had racked up 3 wins while covering the point spread in all 3 games previously.
Oakland’s 4-2 road record actually bests the 3-3 home mark they’ve put up this year.
