The Skinny

Oakland enters this week after having lost their first two games. The Pats beat them 30-20 the first week. And last they lost to KC 23-17. The Raider's big weapon is Randy Moss . He went 5-130 yds with one TD in week one . And last week, he was 5-127 yds with one TD. Pretty consistent numbers. Kerry Collins has not been bad for Oakland. Well , whoever has Moss looks good. Ask Duante Culpepper.

The Eagles just have too many weapons for the Raiders. The key stats to look at are Defensive points allowed, Offensive passing and Pass defense. The Eagles have the second best pass defense in the league. With the right blitz pressure on Collins, Moss will be neutralized. The Eagles will score lots of points. With the # 1 passing attack and Donovan on fire, look for the birds to throw and throw against a defensive unit that is as bad as the SF 49er's were.

Lay the points ... the Eagles 27 and the Raiders 10.
