Despite the Raiders’ ugly loss to the winless Panthers last Sunday, they are once again favored to win when the Browns come to town in Week four.
The opening odds have the Raiders as two-point favorites with an over under set at 37 points.
Both the Raiders and Browns sit at 1-2 on the season and are coming off home losses to winless teams. So, neither team has earned the right to be a clear favorite.
The difference here is probably a matter of where the game is played. The Raiders get the edge because the game is in Las Vegas.
With the way some opposing teams travel to Las Vegas, the Raiders often don’t have much of a homefield advantage. As it happens, they did have a strong advantage in the crowd numbers. And it didn’t matter. Once the team went down by three scores, the loud cheers turned to loud boos.
Both teams have put a product on the field worth booing by their own fans this season. At least on offense, anyway.
