Seattle Seahawks vs Oakland Raiders Sun. Oct. 31^st 4:15pm EST

The Oakland Raiders came into this NFL regular season with high hopes of finally being able to get back on track after they acquired up and coming quarterback Jason Campbell from the Washington Redskins via trade in the offseason, but things haven’t exactly panned the way they thought and they have played pretty inconsistently in the first seven weeks of the season.

Fortunately, the Oakland Raiders are coming off perhaps their biggest win in franchise history over their hated division rivals in the Denver Broncos. Not only were they able to put up a franchise-high 59 points against the Broncos, but it seemed like this win could be the turning point in the season as everything was working as the running game, passing game and defense were firing on all cylinders. We almost went for broke with them last week in our NFL football betting parlay, but we wimped out.

Coming into Week 8’s matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, the Oakland Raiders will be full of confidence and ready to start completing with the Kansas City Chiefs for the AFC West division title.

Much like the Oakland Raiders, the Seattle Seahawks have been pretty streaky this season as one week they dominate on both sides of the football, but the next week fall apart and look like a team still trying to find their identity.

As of right now, the Oakland Raiders are favored to win this Week 8 matchup with a -2.5 point spread. Even though the Seattle Seahawks are more than capable of beating this team and by a convincing margin, I believe the silver and black will continue to keep a good thing going by covering this spread and getting another impressive victory.

Look for another big game out of running back Darren McFadden and he continues to prove that he isn’t the draft bust everyone thought he was.
