Las Vegas at Indianapolis Game Preview

Why Las Vegas Will Win

The Raiders might not be scoring a whole lot, but the defense picked a great job to start playing its best stretch of the season.

The defense won’t allow much of anything with the suddenly revamped Vegas ground game, and it’ll take the ball away at least twice.
