The Oakland Raiders have opened the year with wins over Arizona and LA Rams, but I think they'll come up short here when taking on the Green Bay Packers at IG Field in Winnipeg, Canada, Thursday night.
While it's just a preseason game, I expect the Packers to want to bounce back from last week's 26-13 loss at unofficial preseason champions Baltimore Ravens (what is it, 15 straight preseason wins now???).
Packers QB Aaron Rodgers was a late scratch for that contest. He has yet to take the field this preseason, and while Rodgers usually don't care much for exhibition games, this year might be different with a different system to get used to under new head coach Matt LaFleur. Either way, DeShone Kizer is a capable backup and can get the job done.
As for the Raiders, the Antonio Brown saga must be at least somewhat distracting and the motivation might be low after winning twice already.
Packers are 9-3-1 against the spread in their past 13 August games and 6-1 straight up versus Oakland over their last seven meetings.
