Philadelphia is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as a road underdog and 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games following a loss while the under is 6-2 in their last 8 games against a team with a winning record. Las Vegas is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games against a team with a losing record and 20-42-1 ATS in their last 63 games as a favorite while the over is 6-1 in their last 7 home games.
This is an interesting game as the Eagles hold the edge on the ground while the Raiders have one of the best passing attacks in the NFL. With that said, the Eagles’ success this season has all come on the road and the Raiders, while they’ve done well to sit at 4-2, have failed to cover the number in the two games that they’ve been favored this season. It’s little things like that that can give us the edge and I’m taking it with the Eagles and the points here.
