Buffalo at Las Vegas

Last place Oakland is 2-2 straight-up the last four games, and are playing hard for likable players-coach Tony Sporano. They are 2-0 SU/ATS their last two home games and this is the home finale for 2014. The Raiders are 4-1 ATS in their last five following a loss as the lines get shaded on this disliked team. They face a Buffalo team that is just 3-3 on the road and 3,000 miles from home while crossing three time zones. Buffalo is a big road favorite, but is not a great offensive team at #19 in passing and #24 in rushing. They have been poor the last two road games, losing 24-17 at Denver and 22-9 at Miami. They come off an emotional win at home over Green Bay 21-13, but the Bills are 3-10 ATS after allowing fewer than 15 points in their previous game. Even in the win, QB Kyle Orton was just 14-of-27 for 158 yards and an INT while being sacked three times. Buffalo continues to be vulnerable on the ground, giving up 5.0 yards per carry and 10 TDs over their last eight. Buffalo has lost nine of 10 on the road against the Raiders since its last victory in Oakland on Nov. 24, 1966. The Bills are 1-5 ATS in their last six meetings vs. Oakland, so look for an inspired effort by the home team. Take the Raiders.
