Raiders cover the spread (-3)

The Raiders currently sit as a three-point favorite against the Jets in their first road game in four weeks.

Oakland’s roster consist of a more talented group and the Raiders check off more boxes. When looking at a game’s betting line I look at what team has the upper hand in each positional group.

The Raiders have the upper hand in passing, running, receiving and pass rush. Whereas, the Jets have the advantage in defensive situations such as the run defense and pass defense.

With the Raiders coming off three consecutive wins and arguably some of their best football, I’m siding with the Raiders to cover the three points over the Jets.
