NFL Week 8: Raiders at Buccaneers

NFL sports bettors always enjoy betting lines where the visiting team has to travel across 2 or more time zones. In Week 8 of the 2016 NFL Season, the Oakland Raiders will travel to Tampa Bay to play the Buccaneers. This game will kick off at 1PM on Sunday, October 30th and the game will be broadcast on CBS. There are a few decent games to take advantage of for NFL week 8 betting and the Raiders and Buccaneers is definitely one of them.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have rebounded from a bad start to the season to win 2 games straight. In fact, many analysts feel as if the Buccaneers have matured since the beginning of the season. With Jameis Winston beginning to hit his stride, the Buccaneers could find a way to win this game.

In fact, the betting line for this game has the Buccaneers as 1 point favorite. Oakland’s starting quarterback Derek Carr put together a great 2nd half in the Raiders game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. If this type of effort carries over into Week 8, the Raiders could be on their way to winning a much needed road game.

The Raiders are talented on offense but lack depth on the defensive side of the ball. This game has the potential to become a blowout. Keep this in mind because the point total for this game is listed as being 49 ½. If these two offenses catch fire, it is possible that the point total could go OVER in this game.
