from weeks 4-9 the raiders have 4 home games in a 5 game (6 week) stretch
then the following 5 weeks...
from weeks 10-14 the raiders have 4 road games in 5 weeks...
so is this a net advantage or disadvantage?
it all balances out
You really aren't getting it at all.
Let me see if I find something on this.
from weeks 4-9 the raiders have 4 home games in a 5 game (6 week) stretch

it all balances out
So you see no difference in starting out playing 4 road games in 5 weeks than playing 4 home games in the first 5 weeks....right?
It's better to start off 1-4 than 4-1...right? Remember it will all even out....right? So the fans that are...what's wrong with us...need to hear...hey, it will all even out...right?
You want to start off any new season wiinning...honest! That is much easier to do not having 4 road games in 5 weeks...honest.

2 seasons ago the raiders started 4-2 and went 1-4 in the last 5 games and missed the playoffs. having a good finish is equally important as having a good start.
so answer my question. the raiders have 4 home games in a 5 game stretch IMMEDIATELY followed by 4 road games in a 5 game stretch. is that a net positive,negative, or does it balance out?
This isn't about does it balance out. This is about starting off a new season on a winning track. Which is far harder to do playing a ton of road games early. Everything goes better when you're winning.
I can see you're not getting it, you need to ask any footbal coach if they'd want to start off playing on the road, see what they say. Trust me it won't be...ah ,. it will all even out.
You want to win ..now, not wait until it all evens out....trust me! You want a to start off winning, making the fans happy, the owner happy, try telling them.....relax, it will all even out.
so answer my question. is the raiders having 4 of 5 games on the road immediately followed by playing 4 out of 5 at home a net negative?
It's without question a negative.
for the sake of argument, lets assume a team win win 3/4 of its home games and 1/4 of its road games. just for the sake of argument. in that 10 game stretch for the raiders, with that math (i know you love trends), the raiders will pick up 5 wins and 5 losses. even if they had 5 straight home games followed by 5 straight home games. or if they had 5 road games then 5 home games.
okung is out!! everyone bet your house!!
You are totally ignoring the human element here.
Look at young Pryor with your team. The guy does not need to be playing road games early on...you disagree? He needs to built up some confidence he needs some home games.
You're totally missing the point here. You want to start off winning...ok? Nobody gives about....it'll even out....trust me! You want to win now, that is eaiser to do at home not on the road.
A team starts out 1-4 nobody cares if they were road or home games, nobody wants to hear ....it will even out.
owner..so what's the matter coach?
coach..no worries so we lost on the road, once we get back home it'll all even out.
Come on man.
Stop ignoring the human element...ok? Teams want a good start...ok?
What's being said about all those 0-2 teams right now?

sure, but push comes to shove, you end up at the same place. ok?
You're simply not understanding how this works. You want everyone feeling good about the new season, that comes with winning. We all know that's easier to do at home for everyone. Nobody cares about week 5 in week 2. Nobody cares bout how later in the season...anything. You want it now. right now!!!!!!
Ok man believe whatever ya like. I'm done with this topic.
the past 5 years in NFL betting says take the Jaguars here. the ty team getting a lot of points usually finds a way to keep it within the margin. it is the NFL after all the ty teams still have talent.
but my God, this game has slaughter written all over it... like I'm thinking Seahawks 28+ and Jags under 10... which voers.
Betting expert almanac queen.
Smh fraud.
what's the moneyline I'd like to put $1 on the jags![]()
Dude, buy a lotto ticket. The odds are better.![]()
Since 2008 the Jags have been double digit dogs 8 times...they are 5-2-1 in that spot vs the number.
Last season in Green Bay they were a hefty + 16. Final score..GB 24 Jax 15 (that was right after an Oakland road game)
I can see the Seahawks having a hard time getting up for this game after a big emotional game vs the Niners. But the Jags are just so damn bad. No way I could play either side.
