Oakland Raiders Season Preview
Now we will share with you our Oakland Raiders preview for the 2014 season. The Oakland Raiders start their season by putting the franchise on Derek Carr’s back. Derek, the younger brother of former Houston Texans 1st overall pick David Carr, is out to prove he has what it takes to become a feared NFL quarterback. Dennis Allen is the head coach of the Oakland Raider and each of the Raiders games are played at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. Matt Schaub is also on the Raider’s roster and he could legitimately get the starting job should the job come down to how each performs in the preseason play.
Maurice Jones-Drew should add an element of surprise to the Oakland Raiders. The NFC West will be an uphill climb for the Raiders. In fact, this crew has 100/1 long shot odds of winning the Super Bowl at the top USA online sportsbooks for NFL wagering online. When you look at the talent on the Raiders roster, this bet actually looks to be a pretty decent bet to make when you consider all of the variables. Matt Schaub has put up video game like numbers in the past and if he can stay healthy and win the starting job, the Raiders could put their team on Schaub’s back and make it into the playoffs. This is a tall task and the Raiders will certainly need to win their first game of the season which is against the New York Jets on the road.
