Doc Brown has enjoyed a couple of solid weeks in a row, including a strong week last week. What does that mean? He actually doesn’t have a great feeling about this week. And Doc differs with Del on way too many picks across the board, which is generally a bad sign.
Additionally, no games really stood out as far as lines went, with the exception of the Patriots one, but it’s too late to lock that.

The Raiders are riding high and looked great last week against the Chargers, just like Doc thought they would. Maybe they’ll be too overconfident entering this week against the Jets, who are a much stronger team. Maybe the cross-country trip and heartbreaking loss to the Patriots will hurt the Jets, but they are just flat-out better. They have an excellent defense and will be able to put Darrelle Revis on Amari Cooper. Once they do that, the Raiders won’t have much left.
