Oakland Raiders @ Seattle Seahawks
Don’t be fooled by the Seahawks close loss last week. The Seahawks, and the Seahawks without Earl Thomas are 2 completely different teams. The Rams, despite losing their top 2 WR’s in the first half, and despite throwing an interception at Seattle’s 2 yard line – still put up 468 yards, 30 first downs, and scored 33 points.
This new Seahawks team will struggle mightily against high-powered offenses. I wasn’t super down on the Seahawks entering the year after most their D left because their defense is a system similar to the Patriots, and players have excelled as they are put in schemes and positions to play well. And with Earl Thomas still orchestrating the system , they were still a formidable opponent despite losing a ton of other key defenders. Through 4 games they even held a record of 2-2 despite three of those games being on the road. As we saw last week, that all goes out the window with ET out. The Rams were 1 play away from scoring 39 points on them despite Brandin Cooks and Cooper Kupp getting knocked out early. The Raiders don’t have a great defense, but they should have an easy time going up and down the field against Seattle. Note: Decided to cut this play from 5x to 3x due to the uncertainty of the game being played in London, as there’s just too many extra variables. Either way I still like Oakland, but for slightly less.
