3 things kept me off this game.
1) The Saints typically aren't as good on the road. Been that way for years. The just have trouble covering on the road.
2) Brees didn't play well last week, and there were already comments about his arm. More disturbing, they ran several trick plays with Hill throwing the ball in that game early.
3) Michael Thomas being out.
So even though everything on paper said the Saints would win and should cover, my gut said stay away.

It sounds to me like your gut said to bet the Raiders. I was pretty confident in this one with Brees not having his security blanket. I thought it would be a little lower scoring from the Raiders but still viewed that as favoring a Raiders cover.
