The Raiders were 7-9 last season, yet somehow they are expected to win on the road in a season opener without a preseason? If you assume the home team usually gets three points then they really think the Raiders are six or seven points better than the Panthers. Okay, I guess that makes sense somewhere. From Bovada.com

I admit I can see the Raiders running the ball a lot. That is job one for the Panthers defense who is minus middle linebacker Luke Kuechly.
