Green Bay star QB Aaron Rodgers has yet to play in the preseason, dealing with tightness in his back. He may not play this week, either, and the backups are unimpressive in QBs Tim Boyle, DeShone Kizer and Manny Wilkins. The inexperienced quarterbacks have gotten little help from a ground game that is averaging 3.2 yards per carry, getting 55 and 95 yards rushing in the two games. The Packers are also 10-of-25 on third down. Green Bay has scored 13, 6, 21, 17, 21, 7, and 21 points its last seven road preseason games for an average of 15.1 points. Their Week 3 final scores the last three Augusts have been 21-10, 20-17 and 13-6. Meanwhile, the Packers' run defense has been slashed for 171 and 138 yards, which allows opponents to chew up yards and the clock. Unbeaten Oakland's new-look defense has allowed 14.5 ppg this preseason, while the ground attack has gotten 121 and 149 yards. Last year in Week 3 of preseason, the Raiders beat Green Bay, 13-6, and this total is too high. Play the UNDER.
