Las Vegas Raiders at New England Patriots: 3 Bold Predictions
Las Vegas Raiders at New England Patriots: 3 Bold Predictions
Raiders win shootout
Predicting a win for the Raiders doesn’t seem like a very bold prediction until you realize the Raiders haven’t won in New England since 1994.
The last time the #Raiders won in New England was 21-17 win on 10/9/94. In that game Maurice Hurst had an INT and 1 sack for Pats against Jeff Hostetler. Can his son, @mohurstjr match that for Raiders this time around?

(That should have been broken in 2001, but we won’t get into that)
Despite the Raiders getting an impressive win against what’s probably a better team in the Saints, there is something about beating the Patriots that seems to carry even more weight.
And most Raiders fans have a particular distaste for the Patriots, so it carries more weight in that aspect.
When I made a season prediction, I picked the Raiders to win this game, and I’m not backing off that. I expect this to be a very entertaining and high scoring game as both offenses were impressive against solid defenses in weeks two.

This game will come down to the last possession, with Las Vegas pulling it out 35-31 in the final two minutes to move to 3-0 and finally get another win in New England.
