Cleveland Browns slight home favorites over Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8

The Las Vegas Raiders open as road underdogs in their Week 8 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

The Las Vegas Raiders (3-3) travel to meet the Cleveland Browns (5-2) Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland. Below, we take a look at the early Week 8 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Raiders were curb stomped in their own building, falling 45-20 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers despite an extra week to prepare thanks to a bye. After a 2-0 straight up/against the spread start to the season, the Raiders have dropped three of the past four while also covering just once. The defense is a concern for the silver and black, as they have yielded 30 or more points in four straight games, and 24 or more in each outing this season. This will be their third trip to the Eastern Time Zone, and they’re 1-1 SU/ATS with both results hitting the Over. In fact, the Over is an NFL-best 5-0-1 for the Raiders in 2020.

The Browns enjoyed a thrilling 37-34 come-from-behind road victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, but it came with a giant cost. WR Odell Beckham Jr. suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and he is out for the rest of the season. WR Rashard Higgins stepped up in his absence with a career-high 110 yards on six receptions, and rookie WR Donovan Peoples-Jones hauled in the game-winning touchdown. Those are the two who will need to step up to fill the void. QB Baker Mayfield, playing with a cracked rib, had an atrocious start but settled down to toss a career-high five touchdowns.

Prop Bets Payday: Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Las Vegas Raiders prop bet predictions

Highlighting five prop bet predictions for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Week 7 matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Las Vegas Raiders (3-2) will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-2) in an interconference matchup Sunday afternoon of Week 7. Kickoff at Allegiant Stadium is at 4:25 p.m. ET. To prepare you for that game, here are the five best team and player prop bet predictions to consider for Week 7 between the Raiders and Buccaneers.

5 Buccaneers at Raiders prop bet predictions for Week 7

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 10:05 a.m. ET.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs UNDER 19.5 rushing attempts (-121)

The Raiders would love nothing more than to be able to run the ball in this contest; however, the Buccaneers have the No. 1 ranked run defense and it might be wise for the Raiders to limit the number of ground touches for Jacobs. He will still see a ton of work in this game, but don’t expect him to carry the ball 20 or more times.

Buccaneers WR Mike Evans OVER 51.5 receiving yards (-115)

While Tampa Bay signed WR Antonio Brown earlier this week, he is not eligible to play in this contest. And that means Evans and Chris Godwin will continue to see a ton of work in the passing game. With the Raiders down several cornerbacks and their star safety in Johnathan Abram, look for Bucs QB Tom Brady and the offense to have a field day in the passing game. Evans should easily go over 51.5 receiving yards and hit several big plays down the field.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs OVER 2.5 receptions (-143)

If the Raiders do get down in this game and aren’t able to run the ball, look for them to feed Jacobs in the passing game. He has become a much better receiver this season and the Raiders are giving him more opportunities in the passing game. If this game turns into a shootout or the Raiders get down early, don’t be surprised if Jacobs finishes with five or six receptions.

TE Rob Gronkowski to score and Buccaneers win (+280)

The Buccaneers should win this game as they are one of the top Super Bowl favorites in the NFC. If you do expect them to win this contest, consider parlaying that with Gronkowski to score. Brady always looks his way near the end zone and it appears the All-Pro tight end is starting to find his role in the offense. Take Gronk to score and the Buccaneers to win at +280.

Raiders FB Alec Ingold to score TD at anytime (+1100)

When the Raiders get near the end zone, head coach Jon Gruden pulls out the gimmicks. We have seen a number of interesting play calls in the red zone and one of which is a play-action pass to Ingold. We know how much the Raiders love to use the fullback in the passing game and today sets up as a game in which Ingold will be on the field a ton. At 11-1 odds, Ingold is a fun bet to reach the end zone at least once.

Buccaneers at Raiders game notes

  • The big news was Raiders RT Trent Brown testing positive for COVID-19 and the entire starting offensive line and S Johnathan Abram being sent home to self-isolate due to contact tracing. The possibility of a postponement led the NFL to swapping the game with the Seattle Seahawks-Arizona Cardinals afternoon matchup to avoid not having anything in the primetime slot.
  • So, there are questions if the Raiders and Bucs even play. The quarantining players must deal with a five-day waiting period from their last day of contact (Monday). They could conceivably be cleared Sunday morning with a negative test, which is cutting it very close.
  • Tampa Bay, as a 2.5-point dog, is coming off a surprising 38-10 home win vs. the not-undefeated-anymore Green Bay Packers. QB Tom Brady threw for 166 yards and two touchdowns. The defense finished with two interceptions and held Packers QB Aaron Rodgers to 160 passing yards with no TDs.
  • Las Vegas had a bye last week following a 40-32 upset at the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 5 as an 11-point dog.
  • The Buccaneers are 3-3 ATS. The Raiders are 3-2 ATS. Both teams enter on 1-game win streaks.
  • The Bucs own a 3-3 O/U record, they average 29.5 points per game scored and allow 20.3 PPG.
  • The Raiders are 4-0-1 O/U, score 30.2 PPG (6th-best in the league) and yield 30.4 PPG.
  • Las Vegas leads the all-time series 7-2; however, the two played only twice in the last decade with the Raiders winning the most recent meeting 30-24 in overtime (Oct. 30, 2016).

Buccaneers at Raiders: Odds, prediction, betting lines and picks

Prediction

Buccaneers 27, Raiders 17

Money line (?)

PASS. While the Bucs (-200) will win, it’s not worth laying 2-for-1 juice.

Against the spread (?)

The BUCCANEERS -4.5 (-110) are the STRONGEST PLAY – 1.5 times your usual wager. The Raiders offense will be at a huge disadvantage with the starting O-line unable to practice all week. It basically comes down to Tampa Bay’s first-team defense vs. Las Vegas’ second-team offensive line.

Over/Under (?)

Back the UNDER 52.5 (-110). This could get real ugly for QB Derek Carr and the Raiders offense.
