Prediction
Saints 27, Raiders 23
Moneyline
The Raiders have not allowed more than 14 points in a game, but neither of their opponents -- the Miami Dolphins and LA Chargers -- have won a game yet this season or done much on offense.
The Saints, on the other hand, shown that offense is not a problem. Shough has thrown 4 touchdown passes and rushed for another in 2 games. They have scored 48 points after halftime in 2 games.
This will be the Raiders' first true test on defense, and the Saints will come through -- although the spread will give you a better bet.
PASS.
Against the spread
Both teams are 2-0 ATS to start the season, but dating back to last season, the Saints are 8-0 ATS in their last 8 games and 9-1 ATS in their last 10.
