Prediction
Raiders 31, Jets 27
Moneyline (?)
The RAIDERS (-167) hit the road, and they’ll be able to hold off the Jets in this one. They just have more horses on offense. The Jets (+140) are at home, and their offense has come alive, but their defense continues to struggle.
New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the moneyline returns a $6.00 profit with an Oakland victory.
Against the Spread (?)
The RAIDERS (-2.5, -110) are 2-0 straight up/1-1 against the spread in two games as a favorite this season. The Jets (+2.5, -110) have covered their past two as underdogs, winning both games straight up. They’re 2-3 SU/ATS in five games at home, however, and the Raiders pass offense will be too much for the Jets in this one.
Over/Under (?)
The OVER 46.5 (-110) is worth a moderate bet, as neither of these pass defenses are particularly strong, and the two passing offenses have been able to have their way lately. This number seems rather low, all things considered.
