NFL O/U Game of the Week
October 23th 2009 - Special K            

New York Jets at Oakland Raiders (UNDER 35 points)

There is absolutely no chance that either one of these teams is going to score more than 20 points in this game. The Raiders haven't scored more than 13 points all year in any game and the Jets are only averaging 16 points per game in the last three games.  This game sets up nicely for the under. I look for the Jets to have a very conservative game plan called against the Raiders with a heavy dose of the running game. The running game will chew the clock and make for a low scoring affair.  Last week, the Jets rushed for over 300 yards and still lost with Mark Sanchez tossing 5 interceptions. The Jets coaching staff will not put Sanchez in this same situation against the Raiders. 

Honestly, the Raiders defense is not that bad. They have a shutdown corner who can blanket Braylon Edwards and Richard Seymour has been a one man wrecking machine against opposing offenses. A lot has been made the last couple days of Richard Seymour saying that the Raiders (currently 2-4) will make the playoffs. Seymour was definitely put on the spot and I'm not surprised he answered the question the way he did. However, judge for yourself, click here to listen to the radio interview between Richard Seymour and Artell Hawkins on 1530 Homer in Cincinnati. You need to skip to the 26 minute mark of the podcast.

Take the UNDER in the Jets vs Raiders game (It's a  )

And if you like trends in your favor: The under is 7-2 in the last 9 Raiders home games.
