4* Money Maker
(NFL) Oakland vs. Cleveland,
Point Spread: 3.50 | -104.00 Oakland (Away)
Result: Win
Taking the RAIDERS here. Will take my shot here with these guys again. We cashed both of these teams last week, Oakland as our Free Play and the Browns as a premium pick. So, Cleveland decides to bench Johnny Football. The kid is exciting to say the least. Wednesday night on my Podcast with fellow capper Tony George, we were both shocked at this move. Yes, the Browns drafted Manziel high so you think he should keep his spot. He has 3 TD passes on the year, all of them over 50 yards. He is exciting. Why take him out? Does the locker room love McCown? We know what he is. A serviceable back-up QB. We don't know what Manziel is. We know that Carr looks like is going to be special. He led a nice 4thQ comeback last week vs a decent Ravens team. After being humiliated by the Bengals, the Raiders easily could have folded up late. They didn't. Now they are on the road with a very winnable game. Why can't they break an 11 game road winless streak? Cooper and Crabtree are pretty good WRs, Cooper might be very special. The have a good enough defense. It isn't a sexy match-up by any stretch of the imagination. But, we are here to make money. Go ugly and win. 4* Money Maker OAKLAND RAIDERS
