interesting note on Jets/Raiders

[JimO]

I use custom power ratings to handicap the NFL. They use 13 catagories -- most of which are unnoticed stats like penalties, kickoff returns, punt returns, turnovers and sacks.

IN ALL 13 STATS THAT I TRACK - THE JETS RATE BETTER THAN THE RAIDERS!!

HOLY SCHNIPES!!

I don't ever remember seeing that happen before.

If you throw in the QB edge for the Jets and the internal problems for the Raiders, I'd say JETS-3 is the play.


here is the breakdown if anybody wants to see...

IF YOU'RE BETTING THE RAIDERS, I WOULD SUGGEST RECONSIDERING

Interesting.. makes since to me.:iagree:

I believe you didn't have to do all that research, Raiders could not beat that High School team from California that has won 150 some games in a row. J E T S should spank!

Another caveat to Raiders backers:
Rob Johnson is an ankle injury away.
T. Martin is 2 ankle injuries away :shrug:

I think vegas wants us right where you are,.... firmly on the Jets. A cross country road favorite ?,..... no way ! Give me that home dog.

 

[GM]

True GENO...think of it. Why would ANYBODY bet Oakland? Shouldn't this line have shot up to -4 or higher by now? A team that hasn't covered a spread all year. Both wins were at home, by 3 pts (one took OT!) over weak opponents. Rob Johnson scares the hell out of me. Just want you want...a blind, immobile, injury-prone QB, who's had 2 days to learn the playbook, behind a line that can't block, on a team that can't run. Sheesh.

On the other hand, it doesn't seem right that a 2-6 team can be laying a FG on the road.
