 SuperiorMuscle - NFL 10/5 Oakland @ Chicago
Oakland qualifies in a negative 46-90-3 ATS road favorite situation and the same negative 42-110-1 ATS statistical profile indicator that went against them last week (they are not the type of team, statistically, that is likely to cover laying more than 4 points).
However, Chicago has a bad offensive unit (3.9 yppl against teams that allow a combined 4.7 yppl) and has no pass attack with Kordell Stewart throwing to perhaps the league’s worst receiving corps.
The Chicago defense should do a decent job containing a mediocre Raiders’ offense that has averaged 5.1 yppl this season (against teams that allow 5.1 yppl) and clearly misses the field stretching ability of injured Jerry Porter.
