Seahawks vs. Raiders Pick
Two teams coming off impressive wins will square off this Sunday when the Oakland Raiders host the Seattle Seahawks at 4:15PM ET. Read on to check out our free pick for this Week 8 contest.
Oddmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com have made the Raiders a 2.5-point favorite over the Seahawks in Week 8. The over/under total for this game is currently 42.5 points.
Let’s get to our free pick.
The Seahawks are an impressive 4-2 this year and have covered in four of their first six games. That said, they’re just 1-2 on the road this year and have covered just once away from home (at Chicago).
The Raiders are 3-4 on the year, but have covered in four of their first seven games. They’re 2-1 at home this season but have failed to cover in two of those three games.
Our Free Pick:
The Seahawks have been on a roll of late, but we’re still not buying that this team can be consistent – especially on the road. Their win over the Bears was impressive, but this is still a team that struggles away from Seattle. The Hawks are 0-5 against the number in their last five games against the Raiders in Oakland and just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 meetings overall with the silver and black. The home team is an impressive 7-0 ATS in the last seven meetings between these two teams and we think it’ll be 8-0 by the time Sunday night rolls around. Our pick is the Raiders, who are coming off a 59-point effort against the Broncos last week.
