Raiders at Eagles, Week 16: Betting odds, weather forecast and injuries
By John Buhler
With a six-win difference between these two teams and this being a home game for the Eagles, of course Philadelphia will be a huge favorite at home versus the Raiders. But how lofty is the point spread? Let’s find out.
According to OddsShark, the Eagles will be laying 10 points at home to the visiting Raiders. The associated moneylines for this game are Philadelphia -450 and Oakland +400. This game’s over/under comes in at a combined 46 points.
Point Spread: Philadelphia -10
Moneylines: Philadelphia -450, Oakland +400
Over/Under: 46
Though the Raiders are getting 10 points, it might be tough sledding for the Silver and Black to cover this game. Oakland has nothing left to play for in this game, but pride. Philadelphia might have a backup quarterback in there in Nick Foles, but he’s one of the best backup signal callers in the game today. Keep in mind that the Eagles will want to win this game to secure home-field advantage in the NFC playoffs.
The Raiders’ best bet to win this game is to slow it down and keep it a low-scoring affair. If the Raiders have to play in a shootout, that might be too difficult for the Silver and Black to catch the high-flying Eagles. It’s a 10-point spread. Can the Raiders cover? We’ll see.
