Las Vegas Raiders at New York Jets: 3 bold predictions in Week 13
By Brad Weiss
The Raiders should go into Metlife and dominate the Jets, but after last week’s loss, anything can happen. Here are three bold predictions for the matchup.
The 6-5 Las Vegas Raiders look to get back on track this Sunday, as they once again travel East to take on the winless New York Jets. The Raiders are coming off two straight losses, including an embarrassing defeat at the hands of the 3-7 Atlanta Falcons last weekend, so this is definitely a game they need if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Last season, the Raiders were shocked by the Jets inside Metlife, so this is not a game to be taken lightly by any means. With that said, here are three bold predictions for this matchup in Week 13.
Secondary hauls in two interceptions
The secondary is going to be a bit short-handed this weekend, as Johnathan Abram has already been ruled out for the game. Also, Trayvon Mullen and Isaiah Johnson did not practice on Friday and went into the weekend listed as questionable on the Raiders injury report, though Mullen did tweet out that it was time to play football on Sunday morning.
If Mullen is a go, then the Raiders are much better in the secondary than was thought when the injury report came out on Friday. He and Damon Arnette should be able to handle a weak Jets wideout crew, and Jeff Heath could come up with another big interception in this one, as the team picks off Sam Darnold multiple times.
