I just don't see how a Raiders team minus Mack has much hope of stopping either the Rams running or passing attack.
The fear for Gruden ought to be if the Rams get an early lead of 10 or more. The team will instantly be reminded of Mack being shipped out.

And, I don't think Carr is going to get much time to throw, and when he does he has 2 of the top 5 CBs in the league to throw against, plus a ball hawking FS. Talib and Peters will be in man coverage against Cooper and Nelson all night since Lynch is not a factor in the passing game.

So, Rams by 2 TDs. And I don't think the Rams will be so slow to start as some believe.

Suh is going to make a substantial difference against the run.
