ps - i thought with it raining and been slippy they might not score as many goals/touchdowns but i,m sure the bookies have already factored that into there prices
Best to ask @EvilPingu but if I were betting I'd take the Overs. You want the line to be no more than 50.5 though.
Rain is not a problem, it's wind that lowers the scoring probability, & the Raiders have a shocking defence.
Rain is negligible unless it gets to being waterlogged generally. Been bitten way too many times backing unders because there's a light shower, usually thinking I'm a genius when the bookies already dropped the line accordingly only for it to make next to no difference anyway.
It probably affects kicking more than anything. Kickers tend to lose a few yards if they can't get the same acceleration in their run up or the same confidence in planting their standing foot.
Once you get to the point where the footballs become slick and the QB struggles to grip while throwing the football, that's when rain starts to really affect the points line. NFL QBs do practice throwing with a wet ball and will have probs had some experience at some point growing up too, but it does make a difference regardless. Good luck throwing a ball 50 yards down the field with the same accuracy when the ball is wet, if you can still throw the ball 50 yards to begin with.
+1 to our 'D' being absolutely shocking btw Although I'm definitely signing myself up to the Arden Key fan club.
Is spread betting on points still available on NFL? If so, under backers must have had a mare.
- Most points by a losing team (Previous was 49, the Saints and Giants played out a 52-49 game a few years back with a last second FG to win it for the Saints. - Most points on Monday Night Football - 3rd highest scoring game of all time with 105 total points. The two above it on that list are a 58-48 game between the Bengals and Browns in 2004, and a 72-41 game between between the Redskins and Giants in 1966. Interesting fact about the Giants/Redskins game: The kickers on either side, Charlie and Pete Gogolak, were brothers.
Under backers must've got killed on the spread, however the line was exceptionally high at o/u 63.5 when I looked. Not as much as that 58-48 game though. The line in that game was 37.5. Ouch.

Shamelessly stolen from another Forum, but this is extraordinary;
Quarterbacks 25 and under are 1-42 all-time in regular season games played in Gillette Stadium.
The only one to win? Kapernick 2012
meanwhile
The Redskins are 1-1 in their last 2 games, 2-2 in their last 4 and 3-3 in their last 6.
They're 5-5 in their last 10, 6-6 in their last 12, 7-7 in their last 14.
They're 10-10 in their last 20.
They're 16-16-1 in their last 33.
They're 18-18-1 in their last 37.
