The biggest disappointment in the AFC has been the Oakland Raiders' offense, which has talent but decided to take the year off. The Raiders rank #21 in points (20.1 points per game) and #19 in total yards as RB Marshawn Lynch never got going on a ground game ranked #25. Star WR Amari Cooper was limited in Friday's practice with an ankle injury, leaving questions as to whether he'd take the field against the Eagles. They've lost two in a row scoring 15 and 17 points, part of a 5-0 run UNDER the total, and they are 9-5 UNDER for the season. At least the defense is playing well, allowing 18.2 points per game the last four contests. Raiders DE Khalil Mack has collected at least one sack in five straight games. And speaking of defenses playing well, the Eagles are fifth in total yards allowed, tenth in points allowed (19.9 points per game), with the league's top-ranked rush defense that is permitting just 71.5 yards per game. Philadelphia is down to its backup QB in Nick Foles, stepping in for injured Carson Wentz. They can run the football, which chews up yards and the clock, averaging 140.5 yards rushing per contest (second int he NFL). The Eagles are 43-20 UNDER the total after scoring more than 30 points in their previous game. And with freezing temperatures tonight in Philly, look for more defense than offense. Play this game to stay UNDER.
