Las Vegas Raiders vs. Detroit Lions Prediction
The Raiders enter play with a record of 3-4 on the season.
The Raiders have won two of their last three games but are coming off their worst loss of the season.
Las Vegas was beaten badly a week ago as they lost 30-12 to the Chicago Bears.
Starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo missed last week's game as veteran Brian Hoyer got the call.
Garoppolo is expected to suit up for tonight’s game.
Josh Jacobs leads the Raiders backfield. Jacobs, who was the rushing champion a season ago, has struggled to get going this year. Jacobs has rushed for 347 yards and two touchdowns.
Davante Adams is the most explosive playmaker on the Raiders roster. The veteran has hauled in a team-high 46 receptions for 528 yards and three touchdowns.
The Raiders defense ranks 21st in points allowed per game (23.0).
Detroit will begin play with a record of 5-2.
The Lions sit atop the NFC North and, with a win tonight would be tied for second place in the NFC.
The Lions are coming off of an embarrassing loss on the road.
Detroit was beaten 38-6 a week ago in Baltimore.
Former first overall pick Jared Goff leads this Lions offense. Goff has thrown for 1902 yards, 11 touchdowns, and four interceptions.
Veteran running back David Montgomery leads the team in rushing with 385 yards and six touchdowns. Montgomery is expected to miss the next couple of weeks, which means an expanded role for rookie Jahmyr Gibbs.
The Sun God Amon-Ra St. Brown has been the favorite target of Goff. The former USC Trojan leads the team with 557 yards and three touchdowns.
The Lions defense ranks 19th in points allowed per game (21.6).
Las Vegas Raiders vs. Detroit Lions Pick
I understand that this is the square side tonight, but I will be riding with the Lions.
From a talent standout, this game is a complete mismatch.
Detroit was embarrassed a week ago, and will play with a sour taste in their mouths tonight.
The Lions' defense has been great against the run this season, ranking second in football in yards allowed per game (76.3).
The Raiders are not a team that is built to play through the pass, which will make this a challenging game for the Raiders offense.
