Cardinals vs. Raiders

Raiders -5.5 here as a reaction to the Cardinals pass defense and in general how outmatched they were in week 1. The Raiders offense may look considerably better today as we saw Thursday how for real the Chargers defense is, as had it not been for a pick 6 with a 99.5 yard return the Chiefs would’ve been the ones needing the improbable comeback. Still no DeAndre Hopkins and they haven’t fared well without him. The overall defense for the Cardinals was 30th in week 1 pass defense and still gave up 128 on the ground. With the Raiders wanting to pass the ball I give the Raiders the advantage to win here, sometimes covers come and go even more so if they get in situation where the win is at hand and they are just wanting get out with the win and aren’t really concerned about giving up a late score. My Prediction 27-23 Raiders, My pick Cardinals +5.5.
