    ...^^^Thanx Lil...Vegas has the Raiders as a 1 point favorite, but strangely 77% of all bets on the game are on the Raiders.

    ...I learned a long time ago that betting money on football games or anything else that I cannot myself control is a fool's game...so since the wife committed a household sin by buying me a bag of "puffed" Chee-tos instead of the much better "crunchy" ones I prefer, I will wager the bag of puffed Chee-tos that the Raiders win this game...even if I lose I won't be losing as much.

    I agree Go RAIDERS. They beat us in a 4th Q comeback, which is the way it is for Ravens fans. That 70's crew was the team I followed. I think Art Tatum invented the clothesline tackle. This team is winning games under the scurtiny of NFL. I like their attitude.

    ...the game was butt ugly...the Raiders outgained the Bucs 626 yards to 270, time of possession 44 minutes to 29, and Derek Carr became only the 3rd QB ever to pass for 500 yards without an interception.(Ben Roethlisberger and Y. A. Tittle)...that's the good news.

    ...but because the Raiders set an all time NFL record of committing 23 penalties totaling 200 yards, they nearly gave the Bucs the game.

    ...^^^ Yeah, Jano is usually money but missed 2 FGs that could have ended the game...Carr probably could have had 600 yards passing but again, silly penalties wiped out a lot of completions.
