Point Spread: 2.50 | -105.00 Oakland (Away)
Result: Win
Play: Oakland Raiders
Rating: 8*

The Oakland Raiders will visit the New Orleans Saints Sunday afternoon, and I'm taking the road team in this contest.

The rebuilt Raiders looked good in preseason with third-year man Carr at quarterback throwing to dangerous targets Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree. Drew Brees will lead the Saints, but he's way past his prime and I really don't like this Saints offense. It's also worth noting that New Orleans' offensive line could be missing its best component in left tackle Terron Armstead who is questionable with knee and quadriceps injuries.

Raiders are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games, Saints are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games in September and 1-4 ATS in their last five games in Week 1.
