Oakland Raiders at Green Bay Packers

The Oakland Raiders continue their long trip away from home on Sunday, as they travel to Wisconsin to take on the Green Bay Packers in a 10:00am PT kickoff. The Packers are fresh off a victory on Monday night against division rival Detroit, in a game that took every second to decide the outcome.

Green Bay is one of the better teams in the NFC this season, but they are not without their flaws, especially against the run. In fact, they rank at No. 23 in the league, allowing over 120 yards per contest, which should feed right into what the Raiders like to do on offense, which is get the ball in star rookie running back Josh Jacobs‘ hands.

I actually like the Raiders to continue to be road warriors in this one, taking advantage of a Packers team working on a short week. Oakland can make a real statement with a win against Green Bay, before looking ahead to a monster AFC showdown against the Houston Texans on the road in Week 8.

Prediction: Raiders 24, Packers 21
