The Las Vegas Raiders went through a turbulent 2021 season in which they fired coach Jon Gruden during the season and cut loose General Manager Mike Mayock after the season, despite winning 10 games for the first time since 2016.
Below, we look at the Las Vegas Raiders 2022 NFL futures odds – including win total, division, conference and Super Bowl odds at Tipico Sportsbook – with best bet suggestions among our NFL picks and predictions.
The Raiders made some big-splash moves in the offseason, completely overhauling their roster. The team brought in a whopping 25 players from other teams in the offseason, highlighted by the blockbuster trade to acquire WR Davante Adams from the Green Bay Packers. Other key additions were edge rusher Chandler Jones, DT Bilal Nichols, CB Rock Ya-Sin, LB/DE Kyler Fackrell and CB Anthony Averett.
The Raiders didn’t have a draft pick until late in the third round due to the Adams trade. They took OL Dylan Parham (Memphis) with that third-round pick and RB Zamir White (Georgia) in the fourth round to add some more punch to the offense.

Las Vegas Raiders’ 2022 win total: Best bet
Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Wednesday, May 18 at 7:16 p.m. ET.
Over/Under: 8.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)
This is a difficult choice. The Raiders made so many moves in the offseason, it’s going to take time for the unit to build any sense of cohesiveness. Coming off a 10-win season, hopes have to be high in Las Vegas, but the fact of the matter is that the Chargers and Broncos both made big moves to improve themselves to compete with the division king of the hill in the Chiefs.
The Raiders surprised a lot of people last season, but they are the clear 4th-place choice in the division and they may be fortunate to go 2-4 against their AFC West rivals this season. With 4 games against the NFC West, it’s going to be a long grind for the Raiders this season.
TAKE THE LAS VEGAS RAIDERS UNDER 8.5 WINS (-110)
Las Vegas Raiders’ 2022 Super Bowl odds
Odds: +4000 (bet $100 to win $4,000)
PASS.
When you’re predicted to finish dead last in the division, the goal is to move up into contention for a division title, not a Super Bowl title. The Raiders have a lot of strong component pieces, but you can’t build chemistry in free agency. It has to come organically.
The Raiders could once again be a surprise team, but with a stacked schedule devoid of an easy stretch of games to get a winning streak and momentum on their side, the Raiders will struggle to get to .500 and stay there.
Las Vegas Raiders’ 2022 playoff odds
Will Raiders make the playoffs: Yes +190 | No -250
I don’t see the Raiders making the playoffs – by my count, they will likely be favorites in just 5 or 6 of their 17 games. The problem here is having to bet $1,000 just to win $400 on a No (-250) wager. It’s a sucker bet that doesn’t pay off nearly as well as numerous other bets that can be made. Betting on futility is always a problem, especially when the return in so low. PASS.
Odds to win AFC West Division
- Denver Broncos +260 (bet $100 to win $260)
- Kansas City Chiefs +155 (bet $100 to win $155)
- Las Vegas Raiders +600 (bet $100 to win $600)
- Los Angeles Chargers +240 (bet $100 to win $240)
It would be one thing if the Raiders were just chasing the Chiefs. They’ve had more success against Kansas City than any other team in the division in recent years. But when you have 3 division foes that all look to have stronger rosters, it makes it difficult to believe Las Vegas can vault past all 3 of them to win its first AFC West crown in 20 years. PASS.
Odds to win AFC
Odds: +2000 (bet $100 to win $2,000)
There isn’t much to say here. The last time the Raiders won the AFC and went to the Super Bowl was in 2002 and they have made the playoffs only twice in the intervening 20 years – bowing out in the wild-card round both times.
The AFC is stacked with good teams and the Raiders just don’t have the consistency to hang with them week after week. The Raiders’ schedule is brutal from start to finish and that will be problem throughout the season as the next heavy hitter waits in the wings to take them on. PASS.
