Raiders vs Eagles Prediction
In this Raiders vs Eagles Prediction, the Eagles are coming as -12-point home favorites. The Eagles have been the far better team this season, as the Raiders have been terrible this season with just two wins in 13 games played. The Raiders have also been terrible on the road with a 1-5 record, they have seven consecutive losses and are 1-3 against the spread in their last 4 games. Philadelphia has dropped three straight games but this is a perfect bounce-back spot, as they are playing against an inferior team at home. Las Vegas has been atrocious on the offensive end, scoring the least points per game in the league, going up against Philly’s top-10 defense. I expect a comfortable win for the hosts, so take the Eagles and lay the points in this one.
