Oakland defended very well, very well indeed. In the offense, like I predicted, they scored only a few points. On the other side, excluding the winning touchdown, Rivers played awful, Tomlinson followed is footsteps... And Raiders was able to completely stop the Chargers' rushing game. IMO, OAK deserved to win the game, despite their lack of Offense power/ability, they had a great Defense e and SDG was simply nullified, getting a winner TD in the final minutes... This was a MNF and the Raiders in National TV Coverage, were very motivated to win this game and that attitude is what you always expect from a Live Dog. On the other side, the road favorite played well below his full abilities, like if they felt the PRESSURE...
Congrats to those who picked the Oakland Raiders +10. (Y)
Ended the Week 1 with 3-2 on SIDES and 0-1 on TOTALS, so... 3-3 for the NFL 2009 season.
