The number is under a touchdown? I'll take it.CBS Sports research guru Doug Clawsonthis week breaking down five reasons why the Raiders can make a playoff run. Their schedule down the stretch isn't too bad, Josh Jacobs and are absolutely rolling, and are nearing returns, plus and rank 1-2 in the in pre sures over the last three weeks. Remember, the Raiders made a late-season run to make the playoffs last year. Maybe they can do it again. Jacobs is questionable to play with quad and calf injuries, but I'm still going to take the Raiders to win and cover.The total reopened at 42.5 on Wednesday, Nov. 30. Last Friday, it rose to 43. Monday, it rose to 44.5, but fell to 44 on Tuesday. Wednesday, it dropped to 43.5. The pick: Under 43.5.Both teams are around .500 when it comes to the Over/Under on the year. The Rams average 16.8 points per game, which ranks fourth-worst in the NFL, but they scored 23 points last week against the thanks to two rushing touchdowns from . I'm going to lean to the Under here. The Rams questionable quarterback situation with Wolford and Mayfield only reinforces my lean. LV QB #4 CMP%62.3YDs2980TD20INT8YD/Att7.2 Pa sing touchdowns:1.5 (Over -117, Under -117)Pa sing yards:249.5 (Over -117, Under -117)Pa sing attempts:33.5 (Over -123, Under Taylor Decker Jersey -111)Pa sing completions:21.5 (Over -113, Under -121)Longest pa sing completion:36.5 (Over -121, Under -113)Interceptions:0.5 (Over -119, Under -115)I'm going to take the Over on Carr's pa sing touchdowns prop, as he's thrown at least two scores in five straight games now. I believe Jacobs not being 100 percent helps my case. Carr has attempted under 33.5 pa sing attempts just four times this year, but I lean to the Under in this matchup. I'd rather not touch Carr's pa sing completions number. Give me the Under on Carr's pa sing yards number, and I'll take him to throw an interception as well. made field goals: Over 1.5 (-148).Carlson has made at least two field goals in each of the past three games Alex Anzalone Jersey . What's really wild is that he has also mi sed a field goal in each of the past three games! Give me the Over.Cam Akers rushing yards: Over 45.5 (-113).Cam Akers props probably aren't the most popular in the world, I get it, but he rushed for 60 yards on 17 attempts last week. He's rushed for at least 60 yards in two out of his past three outings as well, so maybe he makes the best of his opportunities on Thursday night. The Raiders rush defense is statistically pretty middle of the pack.
