Two teams that have fallen well below expectations and are looking to secure a top 10 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft battle it out in New Orleans! The Las Vegas Raiders fresh off a victory (for whatever reason) take on the Saints. Unfortunately, there will be no Derek Carr revenge game against his former team this week. Below are the Raiders at Saints Preview and Predictions.
The Las Vegas Raiders are in search of their future franchise quarterback and may have squandered that opportunity by winning last week at home against the Jaguars. Meanwhile, the New Orleans Saints have been decimated by injuries that have unraveled their season. On the injury front, the Raiders will be without guard Jordan Meredith who is dealing with ankle injury.
Meanwhile, the Saints are coming off a Monday Night Football game where they were shut out by the Packers and could not generate any type of offense. Quarterback play continues to be an issue for the Saints and that does not change this week.
Raiders at Saints Preview and Predictions
Best Bets
If we had odds on which matchup this week would be least watched, this game would be the heavy favorite. I believe the offenses will struggle in this game and possibly see a run-heavy approach for both teams. Saints have scored a total of 44 points over the last four weeks. I don’t trust either one of these offenses with the quarterback play in this game. I will close my eyes and take the Under.
Best Bet: Raiders/Saints Under 38
Player Prop Best Bet
Brock Bowers Over 6.5 Receptions
If there is one player I trust for the Raiders, it’s their stand out rookie Brock Bowers. Bowers is five receptions away from setting the rookie record for receptions in a season which was set last year by Puka Nacua. Bowers is coming off a 11 reception game against the Jaguars and this is another opportunity for him to get the targets and receptions.
