Patriots at Raiders picks and predictions

Prediction

Patriots 20, Raiders 17

Moneyline

It has been a complete mess for New England in recent weeks, but I’ll back the PATRIOTS (+125) on the road against the Raiders. Coach Bill Belichick is going up against one of his former assistants in coach Josh McDaniels, and he’ll want to quiet the noise with everyone criticizing him amid recent blowout defeats.

The Patriots have been better on the road this season, producing a 1-1 record as the visitors compared to a 0-3 record at home.

Against the spread

Considering that I have New England winning outright, PATRIOTS +3 (-115) is the ideal bet on the spread in this matchup. The Patriots have been ravaged by injuries on defense, but Belichick can still scheme up a defense that can force QB Jimmy Garoppolo into making mistakes.

The Raiders are allowing an EPA per play of 0.058 (27th in the NFL) on the defensive side of the ball, so QB Mac Jones and the Patriots could see better results on offense this week. Garoppolo also leads the NFL with 7 interceptions thrown.

Over/Under

UNDER 41.5 (-110) is how I’d wager on the total with both offenses in this game being inconsistent units. The Patriots are averaging a league-worst 11 points per game, while the Raiders are logging only 15.8 points per game (29th in the NFL).

Both of these teams are also 1-4 to the Over in the first 5 weeks of the season.

Green Bay Packers at Las Vegas Raiders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Green Bay Packers at Las Vegas Raiders Week 5 odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Green Bay Packers (2-2) and the Las Vegas Raiders (1-3) meet for a Week 5 matchup on Monday Night Football at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Packers vs. Raiders odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Packers have alternated wins and losses in 4 games overall this season. Green Bay opened with a perfect 3-0 ATS record, but it failed to cover in Week 4 in a Thursday night loss at home against the Detroit Lions, falling 34-20 as a 2.5-point underdog. The Over has hit in 3 of 4 games for the Pack this season.

The Raiders were dumped 24-17 on the road against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers, pushing as 7-point underdogs at most shops as the Under (49) connected. After winning on the road in Denver in Week 1, the Silver and Black have dropped 3 in a row, while going 0-2-1 ATS. The Under is 3-1 overall for the Raiders this season.

Packers at Raiders picks and predictions

Prediction

Packers 23, Raiders 19

Moneyline

GREEN BAY (+114) is a solid play on the moneyline as short ‘dogs.

QB Jordan Love and the passing attack should find a little extra breathing room with Hobbs sidelined, and perhaps as many as 3 total members of the secondary in street clothes.

QB Jimmy Garoppolo returns from concussion to start, but it’s possible his best weapon, WR Davante Adams, can’t suit up against his former team due to a shoulder ailment. He didn’t practice until a limited session Saturday. There is just too much risk backing Las Vegas (-134).

Against the spread

Playing Green Bay +1.5 (-104) makes very little sense vs. the moneyline, unless you are dead-set on this game being a 1-point victory for the Raiders -1.5 (-118).

AVOID, as taking the underdog with such small point totals makes zero sense.

Over/Under

UNDER 45.5 (-115) is the lean, but go small.

We’ve seen the Under cash in 3 of 4 games overall for the Raiders, while the Over is 3-1 in 4 games for the Packers. The Under is 3-1 in the past 4 games against AFC opponents for Green Bay, however, while the Under is 4-2 in the past 6 for Vegas against NFC foes.

More importantly, the Raiders offense has managed 18 or fewer points in all 4 games to date, while the Packers are averaging just 19.0 PPG in the past 2 outings. Points should be at a premium, with the Carlson Brothers, PKs Anders Carlson (Packers) and Daniel Carlson (Raiders), seeing plenty of field-goal opportunities.

Prediction

Raiders 28, Chargers 27

Moneyline

The Chargers will be missing their starting running back and starting center, and could be missing 2 starting safeties and their best pass rusher.

The Raiders may be without Garoppolo.

Offensively, the Chargers have been rolling. They have only turned the ball over once in 3 games and have averaged 28.7 points and 416.7 yards per game.

The problem is defensively. They have allowed 450.7 yards and 29.0 points per game.

The Raiders have not scored more than 18 points this season, but that will change this week, even if they have to go with QB Brian Hoyer.

This will be an upset.

BET RAIDERS (+185).

Against the spread

Both teams are 1-2 ATS to start the season. The Chargers have not won a game or covered the spread as the favorite yet this season.

The Chargers’ only win this season was by just 4 points.

BET RAIDERS +4.5 (-110).

Over/Under

All 3 games for the Chargers this season have had at least 51 total points.

The Raiders have not had a game surpass 48 total points.

But the story for the Chargers has been defensive problems, which should continue with key starters hurt.

BET OVER 48.5 (-110).

The Pittsburgh Steelers (1-1) and Las Vegas Raiders (1-1) meet Sunday night at Allegiant Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Steelers vs. Raiders odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Steelers covered as 2-point dogs to the Cleveland Browns last week in a 26-22 victory. The Steelers had 2 defensive scores, and QB Kenny Pickett managed the game just well enough to sneak by. He was 15 of 30 for 222 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT. WR George Pickens had 4 grabs for 127 yards and a score. Pittsburgh is 1-1 ATS and 1-1 O/U.

The Raiders failed to cover as 7.5-point dogs to the Buffalo Bills in Week 2 as they were smoked 38-10. RB Josh Jacobs rushed 9 times for -2 yards, and QB Jimmy Garoppolo threw for 185 yards, 1 TD and 2 INTs. Vegas is 1-1 ATS and O/U on the season.

Steelers at Raiders picks and predictions

Prediction

Steelers 20, Raiders 14

Moneyline

This game figures to be a grind-it-out affair on the ground. The Steelers allow 193 rushing yards per game, which is the worst in the league. The Raiders are 27th at 138.5 rushing yards allowed per game.

Pittsburgh will try to dominate on the ground and eat up clock. RB Najee Harris has yet to really get going with 16 rushes for 74 yards on the season. Look for him to test that yardage threshold in this game. I’ll take the STEELERS +125 at plus-money.

Against the spread

The Steelers are at a value catching nearly a field goal at even-money. The Raiders will try to air it out a bit, but in a game that figures to be about time of possession, the Steelers match up well.

I like the STEELERS +2.5 (+100) whether you take the ML or not.

Over/Under

As mentioned, this game figures to be a grind between the tackles. Neither offense has had much success thus far as the Steelers have combined for 34 points, and the Raiders have scored just 27 in 2 games. The Raiders are 4-6 O/U in their last 10, and Pittsburgh is 5-5.

This game screams UNDER 43 (-110).

Las Vegas Raiders at Buffalo Bills odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Las Vegas Raiders at Buffalo Bills Team odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Las Vegas Raiders (1-0) visit the Buffalo Bills (0-1) Sunday in Week 2 NFL action. Kickoff at Highmark Stadium is at 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Raiders vs. Bills odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

Las Vegas surprised almost everyone with a 17-16 road victory over the Denver Broncos in Week 1. New QB Jimmy Garoppolo managed the game well throwing for 200 yards and 2 touchdowns and found a great connection with fellow new Raider WR Jakobi Meyers who caught 9 of 10 targets for 81 yards and 2 touchdowns. However, Meyers suffered a concussion late in the game and is out for Week 2.

The Raiders are likely hoping to get more from RB Josh Jacobs who led the league last season in rushing yards but was held to 48 yards on 19 carries in Week 1.

All eyes will be on the Bills to see if they can avoid a 0-2 start for the first time since 2018 after they were stunned 22-16 in overtime by the New York Jets in Week 1. QB Josh Allen threw 3 interceptions, was sacked 5 times and lost a fumble in the loss, although he did find top WR Stefon Diggs 10 times for 102 yards and a touchdown. Diggs was the only Buffalo receiver to have more than 32 yards in the game.

The last time these teams met was in Oct. 2020 in Las Vegas when Buffalo recorded a 30-23 victory as a 3-point favorite. The Raiders are 4-2 against the spread (ATS) in their last 6 against the Bills but have lost 2 in a row against the number in the series.

Raiders at Bills picks and predictions

Prediction

Bills 27, Raiders 23

Moneyline

PASS.

No win is guaranteed when it comes to the Bills after we saw them blow last week’s game against the Jets and there is no way I’m going to bet this Buffalo team -310 against a surprising Raiders squad even playing in the friendly confines of Highmark Stadium. Even if the Bills dominated in Week 1, I’d never put down 3 units to win 1, it’s just a bad bet.

Against the spread

BET RAIDERS +8.5 (-110).

I really like the Raiders getting points in this one. Las Vegas really impressed me on the road in Denver in Week 1 as QB Jimmy Garoppolo did exactly what he needed to do to get the job done and their defense kept Sean Payton’s new-look Broncos’ offense in check.

QB Josh Allen needs to play better and I’m not convinced he’ll be able to do that in just one week’s time. He has not been right since former offensive coordinator Brian Daboll left for the Giants’ head coaching job. While the offense is basically the same, the coaching is different under Ken Dorsey.

Over/Under

BET OVER 47 (-110).

Despite both of these teams going Under their game total in each of their last 2 games, I feel like this game could be a sneaky shootout.

The Raiders and Bills are 5-0-1 to the Over in their last 6 meetings dating back to Sept. 2008.

Las Vegas Raiders at Denver Broncos odds, picks and predictions

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos meet in an AFC West Week 1 battle Sunday. Kickoff from Empower Field at Mile High is set for 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Raiders vs. Broncos, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Raiders are coming into the 2023 season with a change at QB after Jimmy Garappolo signed with the team in free agency. With the rest of their key pieces staying the same fans are hopeful that Garoppolo will take the team to places that QB Derek Carr could not.

After a disappointing 5-12 record in 2022 Broncos fans are praying that new Coach Sean Payton can take this team to the places they thought they’d go after trading for QB Russell Wilson before the 2022 season. The preseason was full of injuries for Denver, particularly in the WR room as the Broncos are expected to be down 2 of their top 4 WRs vs. Las Vegas.

Las Vegas was 3-3 straight up and 4-2 against the spread (ATS) in division games last year, the Under was 4-2 in such games.

Denver went 1-5 overall and 3-3 ATS vs. divisional opponents last season, with the Over being 4-2 in such games.

Raiders 21, Broncos 17

Moneyline

LEAN RAIDERS (+145).

I am not super worried about the transition to Garoppolo at QB for the Raiders as I believe he is a very slight step-up from Carr, and I expect the team to adjust just fine with him under center. RB Josh Jacobs and WR Davante Adams are lethal weapons that he will have at his disposal and I expect them to give this Broncos defense some trouble.

This only a lean because Mile High Stadium is a very tough place to play and I do believe Payton will greatly help this Broncos team.

Against the spread

BET RAIDERS +3 (+100).

The Broncos struggled in divisional games last year and while some of that will be alleviated under Payton, they still have a lot of problems. I expect the Raiders pass rush led by LB Maxx Crosby to cause troubles for Wilson and this below-average Broncos offensive line. The Broncos simply don’t have the arsenal to blow out this Raiders team and I expect the Raiders to cover here, even in a loss.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 43 (-110).

The Raiders do have some offensive weapons, but I don’t believe Garoppolo is a good enough QB to propel this game to hit the Over, especially when I expect the Broncos to have trouble generating touchdowns. I do believe CB Patrick Surtain II will slow down Adams, and that will hurt the Raiders’ chances of generating a lot of offense in the passing game. The Raiders’ secondary is questionable, but I don’t believe the Broncos have the personnel to expose that weakness in this game.

The Silver and Black have covered both preseason games, scoring exactly 34 points in each outing, while cashing the Over in both contests.

The Cowboys were dropped 28-23 in the preseason opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars at home Aug. 12, and fell 22-14 on the road against the Seattle Seahawks last Saturday. Dallas is 0-2 against the spread (ATS) in the preseason while splitting the Over-Under.

Raiders at Cowboys picks and predictions

Prediction

Cowboys 23, Raiders 19

Moneyline

The COWBOYS (+165) are a tremendous play at home. The Raiders may have won both of their preseason games to date with prolific offensive play, but I like desperation from Dallas, and that’s what we’ll see from its offense.

QB Will Grier is scheduled to start Saturday’s game, and he is scheduled to finish it, too. He is getting a full game to show the other 31 teams what he can do, as he is expected to be a roster casualty after the team traded for San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance Friday, joining starting QB Dak Prescott and veteran QB Cooper Rush in the quarterbacks room. I like the idea of a QB going wire-to-wire, especially one with nothing to lose but a whole lot to gain.

Against the spread

The COWBOYS +4.5 (-110) are a solid play at home catching points if you can’t bring yourself to play them straight up.

Again, Grier will be playing with a lot of desperation, trying to amass as much good video as possible for the rest of the league. I like that, and you should too.

Over/Under

OVER 38.5 (-110) is worth the play, but go lightly.

Raiders rookie QB Aidan O’Connell will likely see extended action, as he tries to make a push for the primary backup job ahead of veteran QB Brian Hoyer. O’Connell has lit it up in the preseason, throwing for 304 yards and 2 TD in 2 games. He’ll help the Raiders continue their offensive assault.

And, as mentioned above, Grier will be going all out trying to impress his next employer. I think we get into the 40s here, at least.
