Result:
LOSS

Norv Turner won 3 of 4 last year in the preseason while Dom Capers went 1-3. Capers is one of the worst coaches to back in the preseason as he's now 9-17 SU in that role. He simply does not play to win. That's especially important in week 2 as this is the game in which starters play the most and the team and coach that wants to win usually does. Teams off a couple of rough years like the Raiders have had have something to prove and are motivated to perform well in the preseason. As underdogs, they perform well, covering over 60% of the time. This is the game, if any during the preseason, that Moss will play a lot and shine. Against Capers, I'll take that. One star on the Raiders.
