After reading all the posts and doing my own reasearch I am going to go with the Radier Nation -4 for the SB here are a couple of reasons why:
First off everyone says Oak is one dimensional, they are not. The reason they throw the ball so much is b/c they are successful at it. If defenses can't stop you when you are throwing the ball 40 times a game, why would you run. They showed in the game against KC with all the rain that they can run the ball if need be.
Second, I am not sold on the TB offense, I think they are still a year off. Don't forget this is still the first year of a new system and they are still learning the ins and outs of it. If this game turns into a shootout they won't be able to keep up with OAK.
I think Tampa has a good defense, and as its been pointed out they haven't really faced a high powered offense like the Raiders all year,
I think a lot of people are putting too much stock in the last two games TB played. They blew out a tired SF team, then beat a Philly team that was way too conservative after they scored the 1st TD. Everyone's saying they shut Philly down, Philly had over 300 yds, and TB's O had I think a shade under 300, and 71 of that came on 1 play.
Lastly I think you just go with the best team, Oak has been the best team all year, like someone else posted they consider them a one loss team that 4 game losing streak was not the same Raider team that will show up today.
Radiers by a bunnch and a lean to the over.
