NFL Week 4 Free Pick: Take Oakland. Last Sunday’s loss to the Bills proved that the Patriots has some issues that need to be corrected on the defensive side of the ball. The Raiders moved the ball up and down the field last weekend on a damn good Jets defense, so Oakland should be able to hang in this one throughout. According to latest NFL trends, the Patriots are 2-6 against the spread in their last eight games after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous outing. The Raiders, meanwhile, are 4-0 against the spread in their last four games overall and 4-0 in their last four versus the AFC. They’re also 4-0 ATS in their last four games as an underdog and 7-1 ATS in their last eight games after scoring more than 30 points in their previous game.
