Green Bay Packers vs. Las Vegas Raiders Prediction: Can We Count on Jordan Love, Packers on MNF?
Well we are back with another edition of Monday Night Football tonight as the Las Vegas Raiders host the Green Bay Packers in an early season clash that is already vital for both squads. Las Vegas is 1-3 and spiraling out of contention in the AFC West. On the flip side, the Packers are hanging tough at 2-2 but already falling behind in the divisional race with the Lions cruising to a 4-1 record thus far.

Green Bay Packers vs. Las Vegas Raiders Prediction
I was really worried about what this Packers team would look like with Jordan Love and while he had a bad game against Detroit last week, I cannot say I hate how this squad looks. The defense is still legit (although I wish they would play with more physicality) and considering how poorly the Raiders offense has been (less than 18 PPG, ten turnovers), I think they will play well tonight. On the offensive side of the ball the passing game in Green Bay is still there, they have a talented duo in the backfield and Matt LaFleur should have his team ready.
This feels like a spot where the Raiders could push to get their season somewhat back on track but at the end of the day I really do not see it. This Las Vegas team is truly bad on both sides of the ball and unless Green Bay makes a plethora of mistakes and drops this one on self inflicted wounds, I think they win.
Even with a healthy Jimmy Garoppolo, this Raiders squad has yet to score more than 18 points this season and that matches the worst performance from Green Bay. Coming off two poor performances offensively and having had the extended time off to prepare and scheme for this prime-time clash, I think the Packers take this one as short road dogs tonight.
