Give the fans a number of expected wins and you can bet they will pick the over. They may not put money on it, but their optimism knows no rival. To test this, SB Nation put out FanPulse surveys to fans of all 32 NFL teams with the over/under as Vegas oddsmakers see it and asked if they thought their team would go over, under, or push.
The results showed that few teams’ fans are more realistic and/or grounded about their team’s outlook this season than Raider Nation.
Don’t get me wrong, they were still strongly for the over — 72% of you said the Raiders would do better than the 6-win mark — but that is about as grounded as fans get.
