Green Bay Packers vs. Las Vegas Raiders Prediction
The Raiders have un-shockingly underperformed this season. After an impressive win on the road in Denver, the Raiders have dropped three games in a row. To be fair, the Packers didn’t look much better in their last game against the Lions. What if I told you the Raiders are more like the team we saw in Denver the first week of the season than the product we’ve seen the last three weeks?
I could say the same thing about Green Bay, a team who I believe we saw their true colors for the first time against Detroit in their last game. Although the Packers have had more time to prep for this game, I’m willing to bet the Raiders snap out of their three-game losing streak, and earn a much needed victory at home.
Jimmy Garoppolo is a better quarterback than we’ve seen the last few weeks. He might not have the elite coaching he did in San Francisco, but he does have a solid track record against the Packers in his career. Jimmy G is 3-1 against the Pack in his career, with only two interceptions. He didn’t exactly light up the stat-sheet in those games, but he manages the games extremely well.
That’s all Las Vegas needs from Jimmy G. Josh Jacobs has a great matchup against an underwhelming rush defense. Feed Jacobs and keep it conservative through the air, with plenty of looks to Davante Adams.
One of the main reasons why the Raiders have failed to win over the last three weeks is turnovers. Jimmy G has thrown six interceptions already this season. I’m willing to buy-low on the Raiders veteran QB by betting his under 0.5 INT-thrown prop. After a much-needed week off, I’m expecting Garoppolo to shine against this average defense tonight.
I’m also expecting plenty of carries for Jacobs tonight; he should feast against this defensive line. You can still bet him to not throw an interception as plus-money on some books. Lock that in with a Raiders moneyline ticket and you’ve got yourself a 2-0 night!
