Oakland News & Notes
Oakland was quickly written off this season after starting the year off with a 1-2 SU and ATS record, getting blown out 28-10 by the Kansas City Chiefs and 34-14 by the Minnesota Vikings. But since then, the Raiders have pulled off back-to-back upset wins of 31-24 over the Indianapolis Colts as 6-point road underdogs and 24-21 over the Chicago Bears in London as 6.5-point underdogs.
The Raiders are now 3-2 SU and ATS and would actually be a playoff team if the postseason started before this week’s action. To keep the winning streak alive, Oakland will need to snap out of a 2-12 SU slump in its last 14 games as a road underdog and a 3-13 SU slump in its last 16 games coming out of a bye.
Green Bay News & Notes
The Green Bay Packers picked up a controversial win over the Detroit Lions on Monday night, landing on the right side of a handful of late referee calls that eventually led to the Packers kicking a game-winning field goal in the closing moments of the game for a 23-22 win. An ugly win counts the same as a pretty one in the standings, and the Packers are now 5-1 SU and 4-2 ATS through their first six games of 2019.
Green Bay has historically dominated the Raiders, with a 7-0 SU and 6-1 ATS record in the team’s last seven games against Oakland. The Packers have won those seven games by an average margin of 21.4 points per game.
