Josh Jacobs three rushing touchdowns
Sundays game is going to be a battle of strength versus strength when it comes down to the Raiders running attack and the Jet’s run defense, but I’ll lean with Josh Jacobs on this one.
Jacobs has caught the league by storm throughout his rookie campaign, giving teams fits when having to stop him. Jacobs has yet to be shut down by an opponent and I think his hot hand continues this Sunday.
The weather conditions come game time are likely to be around the mid 40’s with a heavy dose of ran. Derek Carr has had his struggles in the NFL when playing in poor conditions, so I expect him to lean on his bell cow running back to wear down the New York defense.
The Raiders rookie phenom is still waiting for his first three-touchdown performance, but I wouldn’t count that out of the realm of possibilities. Ultimately, I see Oakland running the football early and often, resulting in Jacobs finding the end zone on three rushing touchdowns.
