Cutler suffered a thumb injury last weekend against the San Diego Chargers and it appears that he will be out for at least a few weeks.
The news couldn't be any worse for a 7-3 Bears team that is right in the middle of the wild-card hunt.
The Raiders are also starting to think playoffs, but unlike the Bears, they are doing so from the top of their division.
At 6-4, Oakland has a slim lead over Denver in the division, and with the Broncos and Chargers squaring off this weekend, the Raiders could use a win to gain more ground.
This is a huge game with tons of playoff implications for both teams.
Where: Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, Oakland, CA
When: Sunday Nov. 27. 4:05 p.m. EST
Watch: FOX
Spread: -4
Oakland has been rather inconsistent at home this season at 2-3, but the Bears are without Cutler so this is a safe bet.
Over/Under: 41
The Bears are defensive minded and without their starting quarterback. Oakland averages 23.5 points per game. It's going to be close, but I say go with the under.
