Raiders at Jaguars picks and predictions

Prediction

Jaguars 23, Raiders 20

Moneyline

Between 2 teams that are struggling right now, give me JAGUARS (+105) at home. Jacksonville has shown more than Las Vegas this season despite the Jaguars being a team with a new coach in Doug Pederson and a second-year QB in Trevor Lawrence.

Against the spread

Being that I took Jacksonville to win outright, I’ll side with JAGUARS +2.0 (-108) on Sunday. Lawrence has shown flashes of improvement in his game in what is essentially his rookie season and the defense of the Raiders has struggled mightily thus far.

The Raiders are 2-5 ATS in the last 7 meetings against the Jaguars and they are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 road games against a team with a losing home record.

Over/Under

UNDER 48.0 (-110) is where I’m leaning as both of these teams have capable running backs in Josh Jacobs and Travis Etienne Jr. The Jaguars have also limited opposing teams to 19.8 points per game, so the Raiders could struggle to score points again in Week 9.

The Under is 5-0 in the last 5 home games for the Jaguars.

Las Vegas Raiders at New Orleans Saints odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Las Vegas Raiders at New Orleans Saints odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[mm-video type=video id=01ggd7dmf71myygvb922 playlist_id=none player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01ggd7dmf71myygvb922/01ggd7dmf71myygvb922-055365bc8706efef8e54ef5fe2a30381.jpg]

The Las Vegas Raiders (2-4) visit the New Orleans Saints (2-5) Sunday. Kickoff from Caesars Superdome is set for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Raiders vs. Saints odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Raiders have won 2 of their last 3 games after starting the season on a 3-game losing streak. This team is looking to string together a few much-needed wins to make their playoff dreams a reality in a tough AFC West. Las Vegas is 0-3 on the road.

QB Derek Carr has completed 63.5% of his passes for 1,520 yards and 9 TDs with 4 INTs over 6 games. The Raiders’ recipe for success in recent weeks has been by pounding the rock with RB Josh Jacobs, who is showing out in this contract year.

A lot of questions surround this Saints team, particularly at the QB position. They were led by QB Jameis Winston to start the season, but veteran QB Andy Dalton took the reins when Winston got hurt and will retain the job despite Winston returning to full health.

Dalton has completed 63.4% of his passes for 946 yards and 7 TDs with 4 INTs over 4 games. Former Offensive Player of the Year WR Michael Thomas and former pro-bowl RB Alvin Kamara have both been battling injuries. Thomas has been limited to 3 games and, while Kamara has shown flashes, he has yet to score a rushing touchdown on the season.

Raiders at Saints picks and predictions

Prediction

Raiders 34, Saints 24

Moneyline

BET RAIDERS (-125).

This is your safest play for this game.

The Raiders should win this game and come away with their first road win on the season. Las Vegas will look to dominate through the run game as it has done in each of its 2 wins, and if it can do that it should be able to come away with this win in New Orleans. The Saints will also have trouble covering Adams with Lattimore out.

Against the spread

BET RAIDERS -1.5 (-112).

This is your second-safest play in the game.

The Raiders’ defensive play coupled with the errors that the Saints’ offense makes is what makes me so confident in this play. Dalton threw 2 interceptions for touchdowns in last Sunday’s game vs. the Arizona Cardinals, and that should leave Saints fans with a cause for concern. This team does not have a consistent offense and Dalton will be forced to throw the ball quickly in this game due to the Raiders’ pass rush.

Without 2 of his 3 best receivers, Dalton and the Saints will rely heavily on Kamara and rookie WR Chris Olave, and that won’t be enough to make this one a close game. The Raiders’ offense should be able to score enough on this surprisingly lackluster Saints defense to cover the spread with ease, especially if Adams or Waller plays.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 49.5 (-108).

Both these teams have mediocre defenses that have shown the ability to let talented offenses run all over them. While the Saints’ offense hasn’t looked amazing, they have shown the potential to put up points — especially in the 1st half.

Expect Dalton to make a mistake as he has done throughout his career and throughout the season and expect the talented Raiders pass rush, led by OLB Chandler Jones and DE Maxx Crosby to wreak havoc on the Saints’ offensive line. Both defenses are bad enough, and both offenses are just good enough, to feel confident in the over in this game.

Houston Texans at Las Vegas Raiders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Houston Texans at Las Vegas Raiders odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Houston Texans (1-3-1) are in Allegiant Stadium in Week 7 to take on the Las Vegas Raiders (1-4). Sunday’s kickoff is at 4:05 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Texans vs. Raiders odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Texans, before their Week 6 bye, picked up their 1st win of the year, a 13-6 victory on the road over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The defense picked off QB Trevor Lawrence twice and rookie RB Dameon Pierce had the game-winning 1-yard TD run with 3:11 left in the game.

The Raiders lost a 1-point game to the Kansas City Chiefs 30-29 in Week 5 before their Week 6 bye. Patrick Mahomes threw 4 TD passes against them.

Texans at Raiders picks and predictions

Prediction

Raiders 24, Texans 20

Moneyline

Both teams struggle on defense. The Texans are 31st in yards allowed, but 13th in points allowed. The Raiders are 28th in points allowed, but the Texans are only 26th in scoring, averaging 17.2 point per game.

The Texans, though, have scored 20 or more points 3 times this season. The Raiders have allowed 23 or more in every game this season. They have scored 22 or more in 4 straight.

The Raiders should win this game and betting them to win doesn’t win enough for any action, but because of their defense, it might be worth sprinkling a little action on TEXANS (+255).

Against the spread

The Texans have been king of losing close. They are 3-1-1 ATS this season.

The Raiders are 2-3 ATS.

While Houston’s offense isn’t good, QB Davis Mills does have 7 games with multiple TD passes in his young career. They could move the ball and look all right against the Raiders.

While the Raiders will be able to move the ball, Houston’s defense has 8 takeaways this season.

This could be an entertaining, sloppy, close game.

Take the TEXANS +6.5 (-101).

Over/Under

The Raiders’ last 4 games have all had totals of at least 45 points.

Only 1 of the Texans’ games this season has had at least 45 points.

Something has to give.

Between the Texans being able to take away the ball and not being a good offensive team, take UNDER 46.5 (-115).

Las Vegas Raiders at Kansas City Chiefs odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Las Vegas Raiders at Kansas City Chiefs odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Las Vegas Raiders (1-3) head to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium Monday night to face the Kansas City Chiefs (3-1). Kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Raiders vs. Chiefs odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

These AFC West rivals have faced off every year since 1960. The Chiefs lead the all-time series 70-54-2 and are 7-1 against the Raiders since the Patrick Mahomes era started in 2018. The Raiders’ only win against the Mahomes-led Chiefs came in 2020. The Chiefs defeated the Raiders twice last season by a combined score of 89-23.

The Raiders earned their 1st victory of 2022 in Week 4 over another AFC West rival, the Denver Broncos. It was also the 1st time the Raiders covered the spread this season. The Chiefs defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 41-31 on Sunday Night Football last week, covering the spread for the 2nd time this season.

Raiders vs. Chiefs picks and predictions

Prediction

Chiefs 38, Raiders 24

Moneyline

The Chiefs have the Raiders’ number, and it doesn’t seem like that will change anytime soon. K.C. is rolling after easily taking down the Bucs in Tampa, while the Raiders’ lone win came against a Denver squad averaging just 15 points per game, the 2nd-lowest in the NFL.

The Chiefs are averaging the 2nd-highest points per game in the league (32.3) and should have no problem keeping that up against a middling-at-best Raiders defense. With that in mind, the Chiefs should win, but I would AVOID the moneyline since the payout to take K.C. is not worth the money spent.

Against the spread

The CHIEFS -7.5 (+105) is your best bet in this game. The juice allows a plus payout, and the Chiefs have blown out Vegas the last 2 times they’ve played. Mahomes has also enjoyed lots of success against the Raiders, throwing 22 TDs and 3 INTs and averaging 318.3 passing yards per game in his career against the silver and black. K.C. will run up the score, which makes the single-digit line an easy one.

Over/Under

Even in the Chiefs’ blowouts this season they’ve allowed a decent amount of points (31 against the Bucs and 21 against the Arizona Cardinals). That’s not necessarily because the K.C. defense is bad, but more because the defense tends to slide into prevent when the offense is scoring big.

With both the Raiders and Chiefs allowing nearly 25 points per game each and both offenses in the top 10 in scoring, this seems like an easy matchup to take the OVER 51.5 (-108). Plus, it’s a divisional game in prime time, so both squads will be putting forth their best effort.

Denver Broncos at Las Vegas Raiders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Denver Broncos at Las Vegas Raiders odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Denver Broncos (2-1) and Las Vegas Raiders (0-3) play a Week 4 matchup Sunday at Allegiant Stadium. Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Broncos vs. Raiders odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

Broncos QB Russell Wilson finished with just 184 passing yards and no TDs in an 11-10 win at home vs. the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday. RB Melvin Gordon III made up for his 2 fumbles earlier in the game with a 1-yard TD run late in the 4th quarter to give the Broncos their first lead of the night. Denver has allowed just 36 points in its first 3 games.

Las Vegas remained winless after never leading in a 24-22 loss at the Tennessee Titans last Sunday. The Raiders are off to their worst start since 2018 when they started 0-3 and won their first game in Week 4 vs. the Cleveland Browns.

Las Vegas has closed as the money line favorite in its last 2 games.

Broncos at Raiders picks and predictions

Prediction

Raiders 27, Broncos 17

Money line

BET RAIDERS (-135).

The Raiders are desperate for a win and have a great opportunity Sunday vs. a Broncos team that is a mess offensively. Denver coach Nathaniel Hackett and Wilson do not seem to be on the same page as the Broncos average just 14.3 points per game. The Raiders should get their first win of the season Sunday.

Against the spread

BET RAIDERS -2.5 (-115).

The Raiders should cover Sunday as the Broncos continue to struggle in the red zone. Denver is ranked No. 32 in red-zone offense, converting at just 14.3%. Las Vegas should have no problem outscoring Denver’s offense and winning by more than a field goal. Lay the points.

Over/Under

PASS.

The Under has hit in all 3 of the Broncos’ games this season, but they have faced 3 bottom-10 offenses. With Las Vegas motivated to get its first win, this should be the first real challenge that Denver’s defense has had to face.

I would lean Under, but I’m staying away from this total out of fear that Denver’s defense may get overwhelmed by an extra-focused Raiders offense.

Las Vegas Raiders at Tennessee Titans odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Raiders at Titans odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Las Vegas Raiders (0-2) will be in Nashville on Sunday to take on the Tennessee Titans (0-2). Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Raiders vs. Titans odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Raiders lost 29-23 against the Arizona Cardinals last week in heartbreaking fashion, giving up 22 unanswered points in the 4th quarter and overtime. After being up 20-0 at halftime, the Raiders had a second half to forget.

QB Derek Carr hit 25-of-39 passes for 252 yards and 2 TDs. WR Devante Adams only had 2 receptions for 12 yards, but had a TD, while TE Darren Waller had 6 receptions for 50 yards and a TD. The Raider defense had an interception, but could not stop Cardinals QB Kyler Murray in the 2nd half.

The Raiders looked unstoppable in the 1st half and need to channel that in a Week 3 battle against a struggling Titans team also looking for their first victory.

Tennessee is coming off a short week, getting destroyed 41-7 on Monday night by the Buffalo Bills. The Titans’ defense had no answers for QB Josh Allen and WR Stefan Diggs who connected on 3 TDs. QB Ryan Tannehill had a miserable night, throwing for only 117 yards with 2 INTs. RB Derrick Henry struggled with only 25 yards on 13 carries, but he did score the Titans only TD.

The Titans need Henry’s production to return to what it was last season before his season-ending injury. If they can increase their run game, which coach Mike Vrabel will soon figure out, they will return to the team that finished 1st in the AFC last year. This week, they will look to clean up their turnovers and put themselves in position to come out victorious against a sneaky-good Raiders team.

Raiders at Titans picks and predictions

Prediction

Titans 24 , Raiders 20

Money line

Lean TITANS (+105). Coming off such a big loss last week to the Bills, the Titans are looking to bounce back and Vrabel has the knowledge to do so. Look for Henry to have a big game against a Raiders defense that gave up 143 rushing yards last week. Once they get their run game going, the pressure will be off of Tannehill, who will be able to utilize WR Robert Woods more effectively.

Against the spread

TITANS +1.5 (-108) is the play. This will be a hard-fought game, but the Titans will be able to come out on top. The Raiders are 0-5 in their last 5 Week 3 games and the Titans are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games after allowing more than 30 points in their previous game. Vrabel and the Titans will prove why they were on top of the AFC last year.

Over/Under

Take the UNDER 45.5 (-110). The Under is 6-0 in the Titans last 6 home games and 7-0 in their last 7 games on grass. For the Raiders, the Under is 4-0 in their last 4 road games and the Under is 3-1-1 in their last 5 meetings with the Titans in Tennessee.

Las Vegas Raiders at Miami Dolphins odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Las Vegas Raiders at Miami Dolphins odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Las Vegas Raiders (2-0) will play their third preseason game of the summer Saturday after beating the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Hall of Fame Game and the Minnesota Vikings last week. They’ll be on the road this week against the Miami Dolphins (1-0), who beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their preseason opener.

Kickoff between the Raiders and Dolphins is at 7 p.m. ET from Hard Rock Stadium. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Raiders vs. Dolphins odds, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Raiders have been protecting their starters this preseason, aside from playing RB Josh Jacobs (5 carries, 2 receptions) in the Hall of Fame Game. QB Derek Carr and WR Davante Adams haven’t played yet, and considering Carr hasn’t played in the preseason since 2019, he’s unlikely to suit up against the Dolphins, either.

QB Skylar Thompson got the start for the Dolphins in their first preseason game, keeping QB Tua Tagovailoa on the sideline. RB Myles Gaskin led the team with 27 yards rushing on just 4 carries, with WR Lynn Bowden Jr. scoring the only Dolphins’ offensive touchdown.

Raiders at Dolphins and predictions

Prediction

Raiders 24, Dolphins 20

Money line

It’s only the preseason, but the Raiders have looked pretty impressive. QB Nick Mullens is a capable passer, and he was very efficient against the Vikings in limited action last week.

I like the RAIDERS (-115) to keep things rolling against the Dolphins, who have a less experienced player at quarterback and an overall weaker cast of backups.

Against the spread

The Raiders covered the spread in each of their first 2 preseason games, winning by 16 points and 6 points, respectively. I would expect Mullens to potentially get even more playing time against Miami Saturday night, which sets up the Raiders even better in this game.

Bet RAIDERS -1.5 (-105) to cover the spread and win by at least 2 points on the road.

Over/Under

The Over/Under is always tough to predict in the preseason because you never truly know what you’re going to get from backups – or how long exactly the starters will play. After the totals went Over in both the Raiders’ and Dolphins’ games last week, I think that trend will continue with another higher-scoring game by preseason standards.

Minnesota Vikings at Las Vegas Raiders odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Minnesota Vikings at Las Vegas Raiders odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Minnesota Vikings become the last team to get the 2022 preseason underway when they visit the Las Vegas Raiders (1-0) at 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday at Allegiant Stadium. The game will be televised on NFL Network and in the home markets. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Vikings vs. Raiders, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

It’s unclear whether the Vikings had any intention of playing QB Kirk Cousins, but that point was rendered moot when the quarterback tested positive for Covid. He won’t be making the trip which will give the team a chance to get a long look at QBs Kellen Mond and Sean Mannion — both of whom are viewed as potentially not being on the final roster if a better backup becomes available.

The Raiders didn’t play any of their starters in the Hall of Fame Game — a 27-11 blowout win over Jacksonville Aug. 4 in Canton, Ohio. The extra game shouldn’t change things too much and it wouldn’t be surprising to see nothing but backups in this game as new coaches Josh McDaniels and Kevin O’Connell try to figure out the back end of their rosters.

Vikings at Raiders picks and predictions

Prediction

Raiders 23, Vikings 14

Money line

Given the Raiders have already played a game, those who are on the bubble or fighting for their NFL lives will have a leg up on the Vikings, who are changing their defense to a 3-4 for the 1st time in franchise history and still learning the terminology of the new coaching staff. I believe the Raiders are going to win, but I rarely place a bet wagering twice as much as I would get in return — much less in a meaningless preseason game.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Raiders are viewed as the better team in this matchup, primarily because their 2nd and 3rd lines on the depth chart are better than the Vikings. A 3.5 spread shows that confidence.

The line seems to be goading people to put their money on Las Vegas because, as millions can attest each year, you lose money betting in Vegas. But the combination of the Vikings trying to figure out the depth beyond the starting 22 and the Raiders starting to figure out who will be staying and going, the Raiders have the edge.

BET RAIDERS -3.5 (-112).

Over/Under

These are the most difficult bets in the preseason because most coaches are more concerned about keeping the players they expect to stay on the roster not risking injuries. Games are decided by and large by players who won’t be on the rosters.

Because these players will be taking risks to make the big play that gets the attention of the coaches and front office, an Over/Under of 36.5 isn’t that difficult to beat. It may require 20 or more points in the first half to accomplish, but both teams will have some home run plays dialed up and given the inexperience of the back-end defenders, you only need a couple of them to hit.

TAKE OVER 36.5 (-112).

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Las Vegas Raiders Hall of Fame Game odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Thursday’s Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Las Vegas Raiders odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Jacksonville Jaguars and Las Vegas Raiders get the 2022 NFL preseason started Thursday with the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET (NBC) at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Jaguars vs. Raiders odds, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Jaguars come into this game with Doug Pederson calling the shots as their new coach. They have already announced both former No. 1 overall pick QB Trevor Lawrence and 2nd-year RB Travis Etienne will not be playing. Expect a healthy dose of QB Jake Luton as the starting signal-caller.

By supplying Lawrence with weapons and improving defensively, the Jags broke the NFL’s free agency spending record as they look to build upon their 3-14 record in 2021.

The Raiders made a big offseason move as they brought in WR Davante Adams. Giving QB Derek Carr a top-3 receiver is expected to pay off immediately. Adams and TE Darren Waller will wreak havoc on opposing defenses.

Las Vegas also has a new coach taking the field in former New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. The Raiders have QB Jarrett Stidham and QB Nick Mullens on the depth chart behind Carr. While the starters status is unknown for Thursday, it’s likely we’ll see much more of Stidham and Mullens even if Carr does suit up.

Jaguars vs. Raiders odds

Money line (ML): Jaguars +110 (bet $100 to win $110) | Raiders -135 (bet $135 to win $100)
Against the spread (ATS): Jaguars +2.5 (-105) | Raiders -2.5 (-115)
Over/Under (O/U): 30.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Jaguars vs. Raiders picks and predictions

Prediction

Jaguars 17, Raiders 14

Money line

BET JAGUARS (+110).

Jacksonville isn’t bringing the heat with Lawrence and Etienne on the sidelines and RB James Robinson not expected to suit up. However, the Jags have a long list of receiving threats, including backup TE Dan Arnold. WR Laviska Shenault Jr. is the current 4th-string receiver and is still a capable deep threat.

The 26-year-old Luton was 0-3 in the 2020 season with a 2-6 TD:INT ratio. The preseason should be easier for the former 6th-round pick. Luton is a huge 6-foot-6 and should be able to get his targets the ball.

The Raiders will give a healthy dose of snaps to Stidham and Mullens, both of whom haven’t been impressive in the NFL either. Las Vegas doesn’t have much depth at receiver or running back, the latter of which has RB Kenyan Drake, who has been injury prone and likely won’t play much.

Depth at key skill positions goes to Jacksonville, and given that, I’ll take the Jags to win outright in this one. After all, who doesn’t like betting on the underdog in the season’s first game?

Against the spread

PASS.

I don’t find much value in betting both the Jaguars money line and Jags +2.5 (-105). I’ll stick with my money line play with the better odds for this one.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 30.5 (-110).

All 3 quarterbacks expected to receive a lot of snaps have NFL experience and shouldn’t be rattled by the speed of the game.

Luton has the better options, while Mullens will be the most experienced of the quarterbacks expected to get multiple series.

Two of the last 4 Hall of Fame Games have gone Over this number.

Las Vegas Raiders at Cincinnati Bengals odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Las Vegas Raiders at Cincinnati Bengals AFC Wild Card odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 5 seed Las Vegas Raiders kickoff the NFL playoffs Saturday when they visit the fourth-seeded Cincinnati Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium in the AFC Wild Card round. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET (on NBC). Below, we look at the Raiders vs. Bengals odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

Las Vegas earned its playoff berth by upsetting the Los Angeles Chargers 35-32 in overtime on Sunday Night Football in Week 18 as a 3-point home underdog. The Raiders are 8-9 against the spread (ATS) and 8-9 Over/Under (O/U) with the eighth-toughest schedule, according to Football Outsiders.

Cincy won the AFC North in Week 17 after beating the Kansas City Chiefs 34-31 as a 3.5-point home underdog The Bengals opted to rest starters in Week 18 including QB Joe Burrow. They are 10-7 ATS and 8-9 O/U with the third-easiest schedule.

The Bengals handled business against the Raiders 32-13 in Week 11 as 2.5-point road underdogs. Burrow only passed for 148 yards with a 1 TD/0 INT ratio while Las Vegas QB Derek Carr completed 19 of 27 passes for 215 yards with a 1 TD/1 INT ratio.

However, Cincy outrushed Las Vegas 159-72 yards and Bengals RB Joe Mixon gained 123 yards on 30 carries with 2 TDs.

Raiders at Bengals odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Raiders 23, Bengals 20

Money line

SPRINKLE on the RAIDERS (+190) with the plan of betting more on their spread. This number is juiced up based on the results of the first Raiders-Bengals meeting this season in Las Vegas Week 11.

Cincy won that game 32-13, but the score is misleading. The Bengals only led 13-6 after three quarters, and finished with just 10 more total yards than the Raiders for the game.

Las Vegas lost because of a fourth-quarter meltdown – getting outscored 19-7 – costly penalties and poor execution on third downs. The Raiders committed seven penalties for 77 yards and were 1-for-7 on third-down attempts.

Penalties and third-down conversion rates, to an extent, are highly variant stats that can heavily swing games. But penalties and third-down conversions tend to regress to the mean for teams game in and game out.

Also, Las Vegas’s pass-rush vs. Cincy’s pass blocking is the biggest mismatch in this contest.

The Bengals have the fifth-worst pass protection rating when combining Pro Football Focus’s (PFF) and ESPN’s pass-blocking grades, according to The Athletic’s Ben Baldwin.

Cincy’s poor pass protection faces a Las Vegas pass rush that blitzes at the lowest rate in the league, but its defensive line has the highest-pressure rate in the NFL, according to PFF.

Finally, Vegas has a couple of offensive edges over Cincy. Raiders WR Hunter Renfrow versus the Bengals secondary is the biggest WR/CB mismatch (PFF).

Cincy’s defense ranks 26th in fantasy points allowed to tight ends, so Vegas TE Darren Waller could be in for a nice playoff debut.

Again, only SPRINKLE on the RAIDERS (+190) if at all, because we are hitting their spread much harder.

Against the spread

BET RAIDERS +5.5 (-108) for 1.5 units based on the aforementioned rationale and because Las Vegas’ spread is the wiser wager.

More importantly, according to sports handicapper Steve Fezzik on R.J. Bell’s Dream Preview Podcast, teams with the tougher strength of schedule in the wild card round are 48-22-2 ATS since 2002.

On top of that, underdogs in the wild card round are 15-7 ATS (10-12 overall) over the past five seasons.

LAS VEGAS +5.5 (-108) is my favorite wager. If you’re also going to bet Las Vegas’ money line, definitely bet the spread heavier.

Over/Under

“LEAN” to the UNDER 48.5 (-110) for a quarter-unit only because I prefer the Las Vegas sides more than the total here.

Las Vegas’ defense limits big pass plays (it ranks fifth in explosive pass play allowed) and Cincy’s offense thrives on big pass plays (it ranks second in explosive pass plays), according to Sharp Football Stats.

On the other hand, Las Vegas struggles to convert on third downs and in the red zone.
