Traveling to London has been the main topic discussed this week for two West Coast NFL franchises. Similar to Thursday Night Football, playing in London has become a moot point for NFL teams. Both teams have struggling young defenses with prime experience on the offensive side of the ball. Grab the value on the offenses and this matchup going Over the number.

The Seahawks have performed better than most observers anticipated and they will no doubt be the public side in this one following their near-upset of the Rams in Seattle last weekend. For all the flaws the Raiders have shown, particularly with their No. 30-ranked defense, they still boast the league's No. 6-ranked offense. Seattle ranks No. 27 on offense and is still in search of playmakers to aid Russell Wilson. Its defense has gotten by but still lacks depth. Look for Marshawn Lynch to have a big game against his former team in a good spot for the underdog.

One could argue the Seahawks have overachieved, but two straight wins, followed by a narrow 33-31 loss to the powerful Rams, show this team is not the pushover some expected. The Raiders, meanwhile, hit rock-bottom in a blowout loss to the Chargers in Week 5. My advanced computer projections show each team continuing on their trejectories, with Seattle covering the spread in nearly 60 percent of simulations.
