Knox says the Raiders will be much better than people expected and pegs them as a seven-to-nine win team, citing Geno Smith, Ashton Jeanty and Pete Carroll. He also made several Week 2 picks, taking San Francisco at New Orleans, Dallas over the Giants and Kansas City (money line) against the Eagles.
“I see them being anywhere between a seven and a nine win team, which I think is probably better than majority of people would have had them going into the year.”
