The Raiders will win the turnover battle

The Oakland Raiders offense did not play great last week, and the Jets defense is surprisingly solid. Fortunately for the Raiders, they are not going to have to score a ton of points against the Jets, as long as they win the turnover battle.

Derek Carr has done a great job of protecting the ball this season, and Josh Jacobs has only fumbled the football one time. The Jets turnover differential is at -6 as of now, while the Raiders are at a +3, despite starting the season off slow in this category.

The Raiders defense has been forcing turnovers left and right lately, the offense is protecting the football, and against most teams in the league, that is enough to win a game.
