Oakland Raiders Betting
The 2009 Raiders want to avoid the bettors chant of "The Faiders" as they rack up another season of blowouts. Their is some opportunity for profit as the Raiders should be able to run the ball after having the 10th ranked rushing offense in 2008. The passing defense was ranked 10th in the league as they have one of the leagues top CB Nnamdi Asomugha. If only the Raiders could stop the run.

2008 Oakland Raiders Key Stats
2007 Record: 5-11 (3rd, AFC West)
Offensive Team Rank: 10th Rushing, 32nd Passing, 29th Scoring
Defensive Team Rank: 31st Rushing, 10th Passing, 24th Scoring
Top OFFENSIVE STAR: QB JaMarcus Russell (2423 passing yards, 13 TD, 8 INT)
Top DEFENSIVE STAR: CB Nnamdi Asomugha (40 tackles, 1 INT)
2009 Offensive Outlook:
Horrendous passing with JaMarcuss Russell looking lost at times in 2008 for the 32nd ranked passing offense. Expect veteran QB to get some playing time this year and a few second half covers if he comes in at half. WR Heyward-Bey will have to prove himself for the rest of his career as too high a pick. The Raiders offense needed the speed and someone to stretch the field for their depth at RB.
2009 Defensive Outlook:
The Raiders return the same two DTs Tommy Kelly and Gerald Warren who lead the Raiders to the 31st ranked rush defense. Growth for the run defense will come from their youngLBs and hopefully excellent coverage in the secondary. Greg Ellis will bring pressure on edges.
