Raiders highlights Preseason Week 1 Aug 10, 2019 Watch the highlights from the Preseason Week 1 matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and the Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders were the last team in the league that year to win a game, finally doing so the next week against their division rival, the Kansas City Chiefs, but they were crushed 52–0 by the Rams the next week. The Raiders did manage to defeat their geographic rival, the San Francisco 49ers, and defeated Buffalo in Week 16, which mathematically.
For the second time in three weeks, the Los Angeles Rams will square off with Jon Gruden’s Oakland Raiders. Only this time, the game will count towards each team’s 2018 record, unlike their preseason meeting last month.
With Khalil Mack officially in Chicago, the Raiders will be without their best player – a big break for the Rams in this one. However, despite looking like a significantly better, the Rams aren’t even touchdown favorites in Week 1.
Raiders Vs Rams Game
According to Bovada, the Rams are favored by five points over the Raiders. There are six games with higher spreads than that, which is somewhat surprising.
There are two factors in play here. One, the Raiders are playing at home, which often accounts for two or three points alone in the spread. Two, Jon Gruden is back on the sideline, which comes with some unknowns.
Is he going to be stuck in his old coaching ways despite an ever-changing game? Or is he going to take the offense to new heights in his first season back coaching? No one knows for sure, which is why the oddsmakers are probably a bit hesitant to make this a seven-plus-point spread.

As for the over/under, the line sits at 49.5 points. That’s tied with the Saints-Bucs contest for the second-highest total of Week 1, only behind the Texans-Patriots game at 51 points. That shouldn’t surprise anyone, given the fact that the Rams led the league in scoring last season.
