The Raiders achieved offensive balance last week as the ground game came alive with 144 yards (4.2 ypc) against the Jaguars. They will face a run defense this week that yielded 160 yards (5.7 ypc) to a 49ers team missing RB Carlos Hyde. The Bucs have been solid against the run for most of the year and 84 of those yards came from QB Colin Kaepernick. Oakland has a lot of speed in the backfield and will want to get their runners in space via quick tosses or short passes. QB David Carr has a 13-3 TD/INT ratio and is becoming one of the league’s top QBs. He wasn’t sacked last week and has been dropped only 7 times on the year. Tampa Bay had 4 sacks last week against a below-average 49ers o-line but will get a stiff test in this matchup. They have 13 sacks in 6 games but no one player has more than three. They will also have to deal with WR Michael Crabtree as he has taken his game to another level this year. His 6 receiving TDs lead the club and the Buccaneers have had issues defending the pass in 2016.

The Bucs are hoping to get RB Doug Martin back at some point but didn’t need him last week as they trampled the San Francisco defense for 249 yards. RB Jacquizz Rodgers continued his career rebirth with 154 yards and whenever Martin comes back, Rodgers will still get his carries. Oakland’s run defense has been spotty to say the least as they allow 5.0 ypc. Look for a heavy dose of the run by Tampa Bay in this contest. QB Jameis Winston tossed 3 TD passes last week but also an interception, giving him 9 on the year. The Raiders pass defense was atrocious early on this season but they have turned it around in recent weeks. DE Khalil Mack had another sack last week as he is beginning to overcome his slow start. Oakland has to be aware of big WR Mike Evans (40-545-6) as he has become the clear go-to-guy for this offense. TE Cameron Brate figures to get some targets as the Raiders have had their problems with TEs over the years.
