Saints are gonna win but I think it might be close

I think its possible the Raiders offense has more weapons especially with Thomas out but the Saints defense is way better. It might be a close game....maybe

Brees looked pretty average last week and with Thomas out I see the Raiders edging them out.

I think game will be closer than we think. Raiders could even pull an upset.

probably being foolish but I think we upset.

would've been a great game with fans in the stands, but alas

Don’t be fooled. The Raiders got taken to the wire by a 3 win ceiling team. Saints roll.

Will be kind of fun watching the Raiders get slaughtered in their home opener with no fans in attendance. Hopefully Gruden takes his hat off again and wears his mask as a chin strap the whole game.

Similar things were said about Chiefs/Chargers, you just never know. First game in LV, Raiders will be ready. Plus no Michael Thomas.

But the Saints better get it ****ing done, too much money to be had for me personally.

Yeah me to. I’m perfect so far in FanDuel’s pick ‘em contest. If the Saints win I get a share of $5K. Now it’ll probably be a class action lawsuit type payout but still. Plus I’ve got the Saints in another bet as well

Very interested to see how Brees plays without throwing the ball to Thomas 14 times tonight. Big test for the Raiders to see if they have truly improved this off-season or if they are still the same 7-9, 8-8 team as per usual.

Kinda bummed, was hoping we could hand them their first home loss

A little NFL home cooking, Raiders win their home opener and Tom Brady's Bucs are back in contention.

/BlackOp

I think we can win this.

If the Raiders win tonight I think we all owe BlackOp an apology.

Saints don't have their best WR and are on the road. I'd pick the Saints but wouldn't be surprised if it was closer than expected.

LMAO for what?

It's not like this game is some slam dunk.

Brees has no arm and he lost his best/favorite target. This game will be close and i wouldnt be surprised at all if LV wins.

Is Vegas allowing fans in?

I dont understand why they would not? Since Casinos are open....

I’m not saying it’s gonna be a cakewalk but I’d need to see the Raiders beat a team like this before I felt confident picking them to do so. The Saints defense is much better than the Panthers and on offense, even sans MT and with an older Brees, I think the Saints matchups can create some problems. I could see a 30-27 type game that is not quite that close. Sure, the Raiders could win because NFL, but it’s not a fluke that the Saints are the clear favorite even with out Thomas.

Nope, Mark Davis announced last month that there would be no fans at all this season. And as such he is not attending tonight's game either, he's hosting some watch party for charity somewhere.

NFL is a week to week league.
You can’t compare one week to the next.

saints are about to take out the CARRbage

I didn’t realize that ESPN had moved Booger to their pregame show.

was waiting for this....... :clap:

Carr throws 42-62 for 192 yards and 1 TD and 1 INT as the Raiders lose 13-10.

Has this piece of shit started yet?

That’s completely unfair.

We know Jacobs will be getting that rushing TD.

A lot of Raiders buttkissing going on ESPN right now.

The best stat I saw was this:

Death Star....I think you meant Roomba.

My gut is telling me Vegas, so thats who I've got underlined tonight

Bree's noodle arm outdoors with no Michael Thomas, the league wanting at least one of their new stadiums to open with a win... the stars are aligned for them tonight IMO

I'm 13-2 this week so far, gotta keep rolling with my instincts

Okay but FYI they are playing indoors.

Haha, guess I'm mistaken... thought it was a rolling roof stadium

That response was gold. :thumb:

ESPN raider montage and hype video featuring music from a Viagra commercial.

We watching football or a Broadway musical here?

The ESPN coverage actually managed to point out a mistake I'd missed... our uniform crew put Hilaire on CEH's game jersey, not Helaire

Actually, Butkers real last name is Applebaum. But no one has the heart to tell the equipment guy the truth.

LMAO

Oh, I can't wait for the :old: Al Davis Memorial torch to be lit! :Lin:

Watch the death star explode when they light the Al Davis memorial torch.

Can't help but look at that new stadium and wonder how many times I'll be in there with a champagne, blow, and Asian hooker hangover watching the Chiefs pound the Faiders.

Thats it a fake fire lol.

Really going to enjoy watching the raiders lose tonight

Finally no more shitty stadiums for the Chargers and Raiders.

an eternal flame for Davis.

I hope every raider fan dies of CO poisoning.

I'm *Officially* over no people and canned noise

You cant let a few thousand in these places to give it at least a semblance of NFL game ambience/look safely?

Bullshit

Abram is good.. for a Raider..

Mahomes gets a dome at least twice a year. :thumb:

Female ref. Derek will have a pal if he needs a tampon or mascara at least.

Raiders still have no pass rush

So far Brees looks just fine. Thought he was washed?

Thats a drop, big hit or not

Let him throw like six more passes and his arm will get the pussitis.

Definitely a little less zip on the fastball

You can walk around in a crowded casino and strip, but can’t let 15-20k in this new stadium??

Just remember there's a Chiefs flag under there somewhere.

It’s because all raiders fans are flamers

Fall Out Soy got destroyed

Meat and potatoes
Bellcow back

Shut the **** up babblehead announcer

Saints defense is the strength of their team.

Watch it, his mascara will start running.

Carr is trash. What else is new.

Carr over threw that one

Exactly, its ****ing GARBAGE

Meanwhile, Carrs gonna make my gut eat its words :shake:

Kamara running well

How can a defense be bad for what seems like 15+ years?

Chiefs are going to destroy this Raider defense

Holy bad tackling Bat Man.

That’s a tough run after the catch and horrible tackling

Vegas didnt do ANYTHING to improve that D, apparently

LMAO

Oakland still ****ing sucks

Abram dead

Oh jeez.... ran right into that stupid cart.

is he dead?

Holy shit.
