Does it mean that this game is destined to become one of the upsets of the decade?<\/p>\n Or will Seattle\u2019s win in Carolina last week be the catalyst for this team to finally resemble the dominant squad we saw in 2013? Let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\n The oddsmakers aren\u2019t giving the Raiders a lotta love \u2013 are they? A 15 point underdog is massive!<\/p>\n The Raiders have lost 13 straight games dating back to last season but they do have a reason for optimism going forward and his name is Derek Carr who, despite making his share of rookie mistakes, looks like the answer to a Raiders question two decades in the making.<\/p>\n Despite losing 23-13 last week against Cleveland, Carr threw for 328 yards and was the reason that the Raiders were even in that game.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63753&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n Carr has shown the ability to rack up some strong numbers and demonstrated a decent knowledge already of what defenses will give him \u2013 he hit nine different receivers last Sunday \u2013 his Tight End Mychal Rivera led the way last week, Andre Holmes has been very good at times and James Jones has been a solid stabilizing factor for the rookie.<\/p>\n Carr may have a chance to shine in this game \u2013 the Seahawks pass defense hasn\u2019t exactly looked like that elite squad we have come to know.<\/p>\n Carr may have to shine for the Raiders \u2013 Seattle\u2019s run defense ranks sixth in the league \u2013 Darren McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew look like no match for the Hawks run stopping unit.<\/p>\n Defensively the Raiders are still pretty bad \u2013 they allow 131 yards per game on the ground and the pass defense hasn\u2019t been a ton better allowing nearly 275 yards per game the last month.<\/p>\n With Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch staring them in the face, it is hard to imagine the Raiders defense doing much against Seattle.<\/p>\n The Seattle Seahawks got the win last week in Carolina but it wasn\u2019t all that pretty. Perhaps the biggest thing that came out of that win was Seattle\u2019s ability to slow Cam Newton and the Panthers offense down.<\/p>\n Still, teams are throwing on the Hawks with little fear \u2013 Richard Sherman has yet to intercept a pass and the Hawks are near the bottom of the NFL in forced turnovers \u2013 crazy!<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=66501&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n A date with Oakland has been the cure for many teams however \u2013 look for Seattle to build on perhaps their best defensive effort of the season.<\/p>\n Seattle\u2019s offense has looked a tad out of sync lately as well but don\u2019t blame Russell Wilson.<\/p>\n Wilson has been out of his mind lately \u2013 he is averaging over 300 yards passing and 70 yards rushing per game the last two weeks and he has five combined TDs (three passing, 2 rushing) over that span.<\/p>\n Doug Baldwin has made everyone forget about Percy Harvin \u2013 his emergence has to be a confidence boost for this team.<\/p>\n Seattle will have a chance to get Marshawn Lynch going this week \u2013 he should be the focal point of the offense. Lynch has been in a controversy storm, and his play hasn\u2019t silenced his critics.<\/p>\n He has failed to score in three games and hasn\u2019t hit the century mark in rushing since Week 1!<\/p>\n For the Hawks to be successful Lynch has to be the man \u2013 against a weak Oakland front, he has a shot to get back on track.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63752&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n \u2022 OAK are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games in Week 9. The Seattle Seahawks are 0-3 ATS at home this season \u2013 teams are playing them tough at CenturyLink. <\/p>\n I like that trend to continue this week. <\/p>\n\n
