Really, the Oakland Raiders are a road betting favorite? Yeah, pretty rare, but when you are facing the Bears that is the reality. Chicago is winless this season and dating back to last season they have lost 7 straight games. On the other side of the coin the Raiders are off to a surprising 2-1 start.
With the Raiders winning their last game in Cleveland they snapped their 11-game road losing streak.

The Bears were embarrassed in their last game losing 27-0 to the Seattle Seahawks while the Raiders won their 2nd straight with a 27-20 win over the Cleveland Browns.
Oakland Raiders
Derek Carr was 22/23 for 314 passing yards and 2 TD in the win over the Browns and the Chicago secondary will have a tough task facing the WR tandem of Amari Cooper and Michal Crabtree.
Oakland RB Latavius Murray rushed for 139 yards against Cleveland and that is also a big worry since the weakness of the Chicago defense is defending the run.

The Bears may also lack a solid pass-rush in the game, as in the beginning of the week they dealt Jared Allen to the Carolina Panthers.
Chicago Bears
Jay Cutler is out so Jimmy Clausen will get another start under center this Sunday and in the Seattle loss he was 9/17for a whopping 63 passing yards. He will get his chances in this game facing a Raiders pass defense that ranks 30th in the league.
For Chicago to win this game they will need a solid effort from RB Matt Forte, who has been solid this season and rushed for 74 yards in the loss to Seattle. Oakland ranks 13th in the NFL in run defense and they will get a heavy dose of Forte in this non-conference match up.

Hard to take the Raiders winning 2 in a row at home, but with the Bears in a mess I have to do just that.
