Sports betting players are always looking for a tip or two to help them with their NFL picks, especially when it comes to underdogs, which is why we’re here at NFLbet.org. This week’s Underdog comes from the West Coast, where Oakland is a home underdog against Washington.

Redskins vs Raiders betting – Sunday, December 4:05 PM ET

The Redskins (3-9) essentially gave a 33-30 overtime win to New Orleans, and it all began with a missed 23-yard field goal from Shaun Suisham with 1:52 left on the clock. That would have put the Redskins up by 10 in a game they deserved to win, but instead, Drew Brees drove the Saints 80 yards in 33 seconds to tie the game, and then Garrett Hartley kicked an 18-yarder in the extra period. Washington has now lost three straight by a combined seven points, and the loss to the Saints may have broken their spirit.

The Raiders (4-8) got a huge performance from Bruce Gradkowski in a 27-24 upset win at Pittsburgh, as the AFC Player of the Week went 20-of-33 for 308 yards and three fourth-quarter touchdown passes, including his second to Louis Murphy with nine seconds left. The Raiders’ NFL betting odds may be marginally better with Gradkowski at the helm over JaMarcus Russell, which must make Russell, a former No.1 overall pick, feel terrible about himself.

NFL betting odds in your sportsbook have the Redskins as a 1-point favorite on the road, but the Raiders should come away with this. Oakland would do well to watch tape of the Washington-New Orleans game, when Redskins safety Laron Landry was burned a few times on double moves in the secondary. This could free up deep threats like Murphy, and if the Redskins can’t stop the big plays, that will also open up the short-passing game. The Redskins are banged up on offense, particularly at running back, which means the onus is on Jason Campbell and the aerial attack, and Oakland’s pass defense is actually decent. The Redskins are also 0-4 ATS when they’re an NFL betting favorite, and they’re 0-6 away from home this year.
