The Oakland Raiders have come to life. At 5-2 through their first seven games, they are starting to look like a playoff team for the first time since 2002, which is the last time they posted a winning record. The big advantage in this game belongs to the Raiders passing attack, with Amari Cooper, and Michael Crabtree. The Buccaneers secondary has been torched by competent passing games, and would expect no different here. Jameis Winston is still a work in progress. He looks good at times, and his inexperience shines through at others, and overall the Bucs are turning the ball over an average of twice per game. The one thing that is lacking on this team is consistency. Tampa Bay looks good doing some things one week, and looks bad doing them the next. It is where this Raider team has changed, at least on offense, and that is where the biggest and most consistent threat comes from in this contest. The Bucs have another issue, as the last time they had a winning record at home was back in 2008. They are just 17-39 SU at home and 0-2 SU this year. They are also 18-37-1 ATS here in their last 56 games. Take Oakland.
