Raiders win by double-digits

The Oakland Raiders offense is starting to really move the ball, as they have a balanced attack with star running back Josh Jacobs, and quarterback Derek Carr. Carr is tied for first in the NFL in completion percentage, and Jacobs is fresh off being named the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Month, so expect them both to have a big game in this one.

This game is going to come down to whether or not the Raiders can get stops, and they should be able to, even against a tough passing attack for the Lions. Detroit does not have much of a running game, as Kerryon Johnson is out, and they have been working out some out of work running backs this week, so expect the Raiders to dominate there, as they have been good against the run for most of the season.

If the Raiders offense gets going in this one, it could spell trouble for the Lions, who have had their issues stopping the run, and the pass this season. In addition, the Coliseum is going to be rocking, as they have not seen their Raiders play at home since Week 2, and that will be a significant advantage in this one.
