The Raiders offense vs. the Buccaneers' defense is a matchup Oakland should win consistently. Derek Carr won't face too much pressure. Not only are the Raiders undefeated away from home this year, they've covered their last seven road games dating to last season.

Can the Raiders match up in the secondary against the Bucs' vertical passing game? I think they can. Will the Raiders be able to run the ball against Tampa Bay's improved front seven? Possibly. I question the Bucs' ability to handle the Raiders' pass rush, as well as their ability to limit Oakland's dynamic passing game.

Undefeated on the road this year, Oakland will keep that up Sunday in Tampa Bay. My simulations have the Raiders winning by a touchdown and putting up nearly 30 points.

When seeing the Raiders' back-to-back road games in Florida, the thought is the NFL screwed them, but that's not the case. They requested the back-to back games and are staying in Florida for all their practices before Sunday's game against the Bucs. They'll be well-rested and won't have that awful travel stigma attached to a West Coast team playing an early start. Oakland should be -1 here; the Raiders have won and covered each of their four road games. Look for Oakland to win a high-scoring game.
