The Oakland Raiders are 3-4 on the season, but unfortunately for them they reside in the AFC West, and that is just good enough for last place. Meanwhile, the Eagles are 3-5, but sit just one game off the pace in the NFC East. The Eagles lost Nick Foles last week to a concussion that occurred the week before, and now Michael Vick is down with a hamstring injury. Foles will be back in at QB Sunday and he has been the better choice with a passer rating over 100. He has thrown six TDs to zero INTs on the season. Oakland does have three wins on the season, but two of those were against teams that have combined for a 2-13 record on the year. The problem is that the Oakland offense has not scored more than 21 points in any game this year (27 vs. SD on a defensive TD). But, they have allowed 21 or more to four of five teams - aside from their two wins against 2-13 teams. Philadelphia is capable of scoring here, and I don't think Oakland has the tools to keep up. The Raiders are just 1-7 straight up the past three seasons vs. teams at .400 or worse. Take Philly for the upset win.
