This is a 10* BLOCKBUSTER on the Oakland Raiders.

If you are a long time follower or client of mine, you know that I am primarily a situational handicapper which also likes to take advantage of lop-sided trends and numbers. Yesterday I had a play on North Carolina which was 0-5 ATS vs. Notre Dame which was 4-1 ATS; that was a great cover for me. Here is another such situation, this time on the pro gridiron: San Diego is 5-0 ATS while Oakland is 0-4 SU (just 2-2 ATS). With a week off to prepare for this game, I think the home side comes in focused and catches a complacent Chargers team off-guard, ultimately coming away with at least the ATS cover. San Diego comes in banged up, it's going to have to start its fourth center after Doug Legursky went down with a knee injury in last Sunday's 31-0 home win over the Jets. Note that the Bolts also lost backup RB Donald Brown to a concussion (starter Ryan Mathews has been out since Week 2). Slowing down red hot Philip Rivers will be top priority for Raiders' interim head coach Tony Sporano, the Chargers pivot has thrown for an average of 345.8 yards in his last four road games vs. the Raiders. Expect to see a heavy dose of the run game today for the home side to help in trying to limit the time that Rivers is on the field, Sporano has already said he'll make it a point of emphasis for his team which ranks last in the league. Rookie QB Derek Carr will once again be under center, he was an effecient 16 for 25 for 146 yards, one TD and one INT in the London game. Note that San Diego is just 3-4 ATS in its last seven "October" games, while Oakland is 2-0 ATS the last two season following its bye week. The situation, the numbers and the trends all point to OAKLAND as the sharp wager in this contest.
