This week’s picks
Derek Carr completions O/U: 24.5
■ Vincent Bonsignore: Over — The Raiders run to pass.
■ Ed Graney: Over — I could complete 25 against these guys.
■ Adam Hill: Over — The Football Team can be exploited through the air.
■ Sam Gordon: Over — Carr has exceeded this mark in eight of 11 games this season.
■ Heidi Fang: Over — I expect him to throw about 30 times.
Josh Jacobs rushing attempts O/U: 13.5
■ Vincent Bonsignore: Over — He’s finding his groove.
■ Ed Graney: Over — Greg Olson is stubborn here.
■ Adam Hill: Under — Jacobs is coming off his most productive game of the season, but is a bit banged up. This feels like more of a Kenyan Drake game.
■ Sam Gordon: Over — The Raiders remain committed to the running game, and his performance last week suggests he’ll be featured again Sunday.
■ Heidi Fang: Over — 15 carries for Jacobs. Book it.
Kenyan Drake receiving yards O/U: 15.5
■ Vincent Bonsignore: Under — His role in the passing game has diminished recently.
■ Ed Graney: Under — Feels more like 14.5.
■ Adam Hill: Over — See above. It’s Kenyan Drake time.
■ Sam Gordon: Under — Three receptions for 11 yards in the last two games combined.
■ Heidi Fang: Over — Raiders will need to be creative against a tough run defense, so I expect Drake to get a good number of targets in the passing game.
Taylor Heinicke passing yards O/U: 243.5
■ Vincent Bonsignore: Over — Chances are the WFT will be playing from behind.
■ Ed Graney: Over — Trailing and throwing.
■ Adam Hill: Under — Washington has become a ball-control team that looks to maintain long drives and should rely on Antonio Gibson in this one.
■ Sam Gordon: Over — Washington is going to have to throw the ball to win this game.
■ Heidi Fang: Under — I think they’ll run more than pass.
Terry McLaurin receiving yards O/U: 66.5
■ Vincent Bonsignore: Over — He will get loose.
■ Ed Graney: Over — Karma. On my fantasy team.
■ Adam Hill: Over — The absence of receiving back J.D. McKissic should open up even more targets for their best weapon.
■ Sam Gordon: Over — The third-year speedster is capable of covering this in a single reception.
■ Heidi Fang: Over — He’s their big weapon.
