Winning on Week 3

Now I know what you're thinkin...."you're smokin some Powerful shit" to say what I'm thinking right now. However, here's something to think about, we can win this game vs the new England patriots and win it by at least 14 points doing it! Now I know this is Tom Brady patriots, but like Payton Manning if you keep several men in Tom Brady's face he can't help but get sacked or cost the team a turnover. For example, take a look at the loss the Patriots received in week 1 against the Dolphins 33 - 20. Who in all fairness to the Raiders aren't that good of a team overall and almost always pick just as high in the draft as we do. Keep four men on the line and blitz his ass and watch him start hearing footsteps. Secondly, if we cover their receivers right and stay aggressive making them work harder than they should, then we should get at least 3 interceptions on sunday. Patriot receivers have a problem getting open, and good corners on defense know how to frustrate Brady. LaFell and Edelman are their true threats in the receiving game next to their often used TE and RB Vereen.

On offense, we need to give the youngsta the ball, this week requires a bruising runningback in my opinion to go at that defense. Use McFadden And Jones Drew to run on sweeps and catch it out the backfield, while for the unteenth time utilize Marcel Reece and Jamaize Olawale. The Passing game.......throw it more than 10 yards downfield, Use the TE's and start Denarius Moore in the slot where he is more dangerous. I would definitely use Andre Holmes' height and ability to get up field to my advantage. Time to introduce David Ausberry right along with Rivera to the end zone so the DB's and LB's can back off and play the pass opening up the run game.

My prediction: 28-14 Raiders
