Free Pick on Historical Day For Matt Rivers NFL

A true American idol in sports betting, Matt Rivers has his biggest day ever with NFL premium picks. He starts it out with a free winner on the Oakland Raiders plus the points against the Baltimore Ravens. They are getting 11.5 at BetUs Sportsbook  
 
It's never a sure thing when backing Al Davis' Oakland Raiders but I can see them hold their own a bit today and to get this price out west is enough to give it a go.
 
Obviously a win and
Baltimore is in so the motivation is more than there for Ray Lewis and the visitors. In the end I do expect John Harbaugh's team to get the job done but covering this number is a different story.
 
Oakland's defense is not bad at all. Nnamdi Asomugha is as good of a corner as there is on the planet. Joe Flacco more than likely will ignore his side of the field most of the time and others like Richard Seymour, Greg Ellis and Gerard Warren are quality experienced players as well. Sure Flacco should be efficient and Ray Rice will continue to blow up in a good way I'm sure but the Raiders will come to play and 10 ½ at home is 10 ½ at home.
 
Charlie Frye is expected to start and the former Brown will never be compared to Joe Montana and in fact he is no Bruce Gradkowski. The Ravens will bring the heat and Ed Reed is expected to return which will help them but this price is just too much on the road and all the way across the country. This cannot be belittled and especially when you are getting these points with a team that has already shocked Philadelphia and Cincinnati as a similar dog. Plus Tom Cable's crew went on the road and shocked the world in both Denver and Pittsburgh so this team can rise to the occasion against quality teams. There will be no crapping in their pants here at all with the big bad Ravens coming into town.
 
Of course Seymour was crazy a few months ago when predicting that Oakland would go to the playoffs but he wasn't crazy in understanding how his squad was not as pathetic as some may believe. There are times when they lay a big fat stinky egg but without JaMarcus Russell on the field that should be more of a thing of the past. Oakland may be 5-10 overall but throw out how bad they were with Russell because that is meaningless right now. They are 3-3 post the Russell era and really are a .500 or so team.
 
Double digit home dog that has already beaten the Eagles, Bengals, Steelers and Broncos? Ok, I'll take my chances.
