Raiders vs. Lions Betting Preview
The Las Vegas Raiders have all sorts of issues, and they seem to be at a bit of a breaking point for their season. Where they get their offense is the main question.
The status of Jimmy Garoppolo is in question, but leaning toward him being back for this game. We will see later if he comes off the NFL Injury Report. Whether it is him or either of the two backups, the Raiders’ inability to run the ball is puzzling.
Josh Jacobs led the NFL in rushing yards a season ago and now is anchoring an offense that, according to NFL Team Stats, is dead last in rushing. Davante Adams has just three touchdowns on the season in the receiving game and is frustrated over his role. The Raiders are scoring just 16 points per game, which is 30th out of 32 NFL teams.
The Las Vegas Raiders schedule sees them come home for their next two games against the Giants and Jets.
Detroit Lions’ Exciting Style of Play
Detroit Lions games are fun in 2023 with their ability to move the ball and the way they attack on defense. Obviously, last week was not great for Lions fans, but overall, this is one of the top teams in the league this season. The Lions will look for their sixth win of the season in this one. Detroit comes into the affair 2-1 at home.
The Lions are scoring 24.9 points per game. Jared Goff needs just 98 more yards to get to 2,000 on the season, and when David Montgomery plays, he has been very effective in his first season as the lead running back in Detroit.
The Lions are 11th in rushing, with nearly 119 yards per game. When looking at NFL Player Stats – Amon- Ra St. Brown is having another solid season with 557 receiving yards.
The Lions will have their bye week following this game before going to Los Angeles to battle the Chargers before back-to-back home games against the Bears and Packers.
Las Vegas Raiders vs. Detroit Lions Betting Prediction
The Las Vegas Raiders looked really weak last week. That’s too bad, too, because before that, they had won back-to-back games and seemingly were on the right track. They have quarterback issues, they can’t run the football, and their best player is not happy.
The Raiders’ defense has been fine, but they are going to have a tough time on the turf in Detroit. The Lions are angry and are going to take their frustrations out here. The Lions win this game and win this game easily.
Bet the Detroit Lions at -7.5 over the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football to wrap up Week 8 of the season.
We hope you enjoyed our Raiders vs Lions Betting Analysis for the Monday Night Football affair! Good luck with all your NFL Picks!
