Sportsbook site oddsmakers and people making an online bet must take a second look at the Raiders for this Sunday’s game vs the Arizona Cardinals as they’ve got a new starting quarterback.



A win in Relief – After he came off the bench in relief last week to spark a 16-14 win as 3-point home favorites, Bruce Gradkowski was named starting quarterback of the Raiders by head coach Tom Cable on Wednesday night. Oakland was already in desperate need of a victory vs a poor St Louis squad that led them 7-3 at the half after being 0-1 on the year and coming off a blowout loss at Tennessee. Gradkowski, who saw action for the Raiders a year ago, came off the bench to spark the offense while he was 11-22 for 162 yards with one touchdown and one interception. His solid performance served to free up the Rams defense and keep them honest which permitted Raider running back Darren McFadden to rush for 145 yards on 30 carries.

Campbell Soup – After being obtained from the Washington Redskins this past off year after three average years as quarterback Jason Campbell was immediately named the Raiders starter heading into training camp. Campbell won accolades from teammates for his professionalism. Owner Al Davis made sportsbook page news by saying that Campbell would be the next Jim Plunkett. It took Campbell a game and a half to be back in the soup in football bets.

Handicappers at the online sportsbook were reminded why Mike Shanahan immediately got rid of Campbell when he took over the Washington Redskins and why he never took Washington to the playoffs. With only 5.one yards per attempt with a1-2 touchdown to interception ratio, Campbell has a bad QB rating of 61.9 to date in 2010.

Energy Boost – Oakland offensive coordinator Hue Jackson asked Cable to make the switch to Gradkowski, who made sportsbook site bettors interested in Oakland as a possibly live 4.5-point underdog at Arizona on Sunday, as he did not like the lack of energy that the offense had with Campbell. Gradkowski is a revered leader in the Oakland locker room and had a good 80.6 QB rating a year ago.

A great Problem to Have – Cable states that he likes both quarterbacks and that he will require them both to make positive sportsbook page headlines and achieve the playoffs in 2010.
