John Gruden wanted to win bad at home last weekend.
Tonight he is expected to test some new guys and treat it as a meaningless game.

The Rams will be sending out two of the worst backups in the NFL in Hodges and Perkins, so expect the Raiders to shut them down regularly throughout the contest. Perkins features more of a running attack, which lends credence to this game going under the projected total. The over is 3-5-1 in Coach McVay’s limited preseason appearances. These totals are always hard to project, considering the inconsistencies in the play of third and fourth stringers look for a low scoring game in this one on Saturday night.
