Sportsbook site oddsmakers and people making an online bet will have to take a 2nd look at the Oakland raiders for this Sunday’s match against the Arizona Cardinals as they’ve got a new starting quarterback.



A Win in Relief – Bruce Gradkowski was named starting quarterback of the Raiders by head coach Tom Cable on Wednesday night after he came off the bench in relief last week to spark a 16-14 win as 3-point home favorites. Oakland was already 0-1 on the year and arriving from a blowout loss at Tennessee and in desperate need of a victory against a poor St Louis squad that led them 7-3 at the half. Gradkowski, who saw action for the Raiders last year, came off the bench to spark the offense while he was 11-22 for 162 yards with 1 touchdown and 1 interception. His solid performance helped 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 – Jason Campbell was immediately named the Raiders starter going into training camp after being obtained from the Washington Redskins this past off year after three mediocre years as quarterback. Campbell won accolades from teammates for his professionalism. Owner Al Davis made sportsbook page news by stating that Campbell is going to be the next Jim Plunkett. A match and a half is how long it took Campebell to be back in the soup in football bets.

Odds Makers 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 led Washington to the playoffs. Campbell has a bad QB rating of 61.9 to date in 2010 with just 5.1 yards per attempt with a1-2 touchdown to interception ratio.

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

A good Concern to Have – Cable says that he favors both quarterbacks and that he’ll require them both to make good sportsbook page headlines and achieve the playoffs in 2010.
