In my many years of making NFL picks at Pointspreadpros.com, experience has told me, that sometimes the picks that make you feel the most "uncomfortable" are the ones that you actually have the greatest success with.
And the Raiders +10 (current line) is just such a pick. Nobody is giving the Silver and Black any chance against the powerful Chargers. And why would they? The Raiders and their organization have been a laughing stock for the past few years.
So yes, this a very uncomfortable pick to say the least. Betting on the Raiders is the same feeling as you get when coming down from the very top of a giant ferris wheel!... That nauseous feeling in the pit of your stomach.
But our computer systems see some value here. The Raiders don't do a lot well but they can run the ball pretty effectively. And the Chargers last year showed vulnerability there. The Raiders also have one of the best cover corners in the league (Assumwaugh). And this should help them take away San Diego's best receiver.
Couple this fact, with it being the week 1 home opener, on national TV, if the Raiders can't put up a good show for this, then they are cooked for the rest of the season.
So play on the Raiders +10 and say a "Hail Mary"
