Jets vs Raiders Prediction
I understand the Raiders have taken a back seat over the last month with four straight losses. It’s also a trip across the country for Las Vegas. I get it. However, I ask the same question of the Jets that I asked last week. What have they done to deserve to be favored? The Jets remain a mess offensively, which includes being 23rd in total offense and 27th in scoring offense. The Jets’ defense also can’t stop the run.
The Jets have lost five of their last six games and just lost to the Dolphins, who may be the worst team in the NFL. This line makes zero sense. I’m grabbing the points with the Raiders, but it’s a fade of the Jets more than anything.
