I like Carr. I think he parties hard every single night, but not as much as Big Ben. So jet lag and lack of sleep will effect him less than Wilson. Sometimes you just need to handicap outside the box.

My man in London phoned and said the Queen just laid 1.5 million pounds on the Raiders at the Piccadilly Casino. Yep, a lot of good reasons to take the Raiders.

Hey LC. Could you accept my friend request. I'd like to ask you a question.

betting on these London games are an abomination.. i think the only way to go here is taking the Over, instead of choosing a side. you can be almost sure that defenses will not be performing at their peak plus everyone loves to not see a boring game so scoring is in the best interest of all parties involved and shameless self-promotion. why have these london games if the plan isnt to one day have an NFL team in London?
Sip on that plus money honey!

One factor no one has mentioned yet is this will be the Seahawks first Internatonal Series game whereas the Raiders have played the Dolphins at Wembley a few years ago and the Texans/Patriots in Mexico more recently. I find it hard to lay points with a side traveling abroad for the first time, Especially in a game where the teams are somewhat equal, I think the Ravens were favored against the Jags in their first overseas game and got blown out 44-7, Just a tidbit worth thinking about if you are on the Seahawks.

This is what I was looking for someone to bring up..  HUGE factor IMO..  I remember it happening before and the winning team commented on how going over there for the 2nd time vs a first timer was a huge advantage for them..peace_5

Be careful with the axe Eugene.

some weird movement on this one - woke up today with line down to Oak +3 even money at one book and +102 at another. this is from +3 -120 yesterday morning. All of this is understandable with news breaking of Oakland not flying out until Thursday.... But 5 mins after seeing +3 even money, line snaps to +2.5 -110... I thought i was looking at it incorrectly and refreshed 5 times given that if this line moves off +3 then this juice movement would imply +3.5 would be the next stop.... But no, it snapped the other way to +2.5... just weird. but again, Seattle has no business giving a FG on neutral site

Trying to read into line movements will drive you crazy. Do your research as best you can, cap the game as best you can, bet it, then forget it. Let the line do as it may and quit trying to decipher the movements.

Nervous about this one LC.

Raiders travel late plus the weird Gruden vertigo thing too. How prepared will they be?

Seattle have established a run game now which has taken pressure of Wilson.

Running will slow down Mack and the pass rush so should create play action opportunities.

Can't see the Raiders keeping pace on the board.

Can you convince me? Otherwise I'm staying away from this one.

Raiders should spank Seattle??? On what basis??????? Raiders are looking like the worst team in the league at the moment, besidse the Giants. And plus this game is in LONDON. There isn't a single justification that Raiders will "spank" the Seahawks. Cover the spread? Yeah, maybe. God your bookie must be rich because of you.
