NFL London Games

First of 3 London Games tonight with the " mighty " Oakland Raiders taking on the Seahawks of Seattle. This was the game that was originally scheduled for Spurs new stadium, but we all know what happened there and so all 3 games will now be at Wembley.

The second coming of Coach Jon Gruden ( formerly with the Raiders at the turn of the century ) has not gone well and Oakland find themselves at 1 win and 4 losses. Huge game therefore, but just as much for the Hawks who are 2 and 3.

Sky of course are covering the game live, but the game is also being shown on BBC2 with a 6pm start ( coverage switches to the red button at 7pm )

Other than they will doing some particularly dumb, very hard to predict the Raiders, but gotta go into the game positive. Nothing serious on the betting front, but will be playing first TD scorer along with some scorecasts with Oakland winning big

FIRST TD SCORER

JALEN RICHARD ( 3rd string running back, but has been making plays lately ) at 20's
SETH ROBERTS ( Has the " drops " a bit too much, but has caught enough TD's in his career at 33's )
LEE SMITH ( Mainly a blocking Tight End, but does not drop many when targeted at 50's )

The Lee Smith option would be a bit of a case of history repeating itself as on the Raiders last visit to London a reserve Tight End caught the first score of the game. Hope this is the only case of deja vu as said last visit ending up in a real hammering and the coach got fired on the ride home.

The 2nd London Fixture is currently live on BBC2 and is between the Tennessee Titans and the LA ( formerly San Diego ) Chargers. No real interest in the game, but Wide Receiver Keenan Allen ( LA ) is on my fantasy team, so won't mind a Touchdown or two from him.

Should have said, but do expect the Chargers to win, with a bit to spare. It is 8's for them to win by 19-24 and 14's for it to be by 25-30. Melvin Gordon ( Running Back ) is out, but do feel they have too many decent receivers for the Titans to cover.

Travis Benjamin ( LA ) is a speedy receiver and could easily get open for the first TD at 16's.
Marcus Mariotta ( TEN ) is a fair QB and can run with the ball and he is 25's to score first.
