Skins vs. Raiders Pick
Outside of fans of each respective team, bettors will only be interested in the Washington Redskins-Oakland Raiders matchup at 4:05PM ET on Sunday.
The Redskins lost to the Saints 33-30 in overtime as a 9-point underdog in Week 13, while the combined score sailed over the posted total of 47 points. Jason Campbell threw for 367 yards with three touchdowns and an interception for Washington, while receiver Devin Thomas hauled in seven passes for 100 yards and two scores.
The Raiders shocked the Steelers 27-24 as a 14.5-point underdog in Week 13, while the combined score went over the posted total of 37 points. Quarterback Bruce Gradkowski threw for 308 yards with three touchdowns in the win, while Louis Murphy caught four passes for 128 yards and two scores.
Oddsmakers from online sports book SPORTSBETTING.com have made the Raiders 1-point underdogs at home against the Redskins in Week 14. The over/under total for this game has been set at 37.5 points.
Gradkowski has given the Raiders new life the past couple weeks and we’re surprised to see the side sitting at Oakland +1 for this game. Granted, Washington just went toe-to-toe with the Saints in Week 13, but now they have to fly cross-country and try to get up for a meaningless game. At least against New Orleans, they were motivated to beat an undefeated team.
The Raiders are 4-1 against the spread in their last five games when playing Washington. Our free pick prediction for this game is Oakland +1 and we also like the over, which has hit in five of Washington’s last six games.
Our NFL Week 14 Free Pick for this matchup is: OAKLAND RAIDERS +1 and OVER 37.5.
