Double-Digit Raiders Victory
Yeah, that’s right, I’m calling my shot, as the Raiders will win this game and will win by double digits for the first time since they beat the Broncos by 25 earlier in the year. Even with the hurt groin last week, quarterback Derek Carr had a good game, that could’ve been better, and they have an incentive to get Darren Waller the ball early and often
Wide receiver Nelson Agholor can approach the 1,000-yard mark with a good game in this one, and he has been a tremendous surprise this season. A ho-hum signing in the offseason, he has been a legitimate WR1 all season long and should be someone the organization is seriously thinking about bringing back next year.
The Raiders are still the better team between the two despite how they have been playing these past few games, and they will show that against Drew Lock and company on Sunday. Las Vegas has suffered some heartbreaking losses as of late, including the improbable loss to Miami, and losing in the overtime to the Los Angeles Chargers.
All those lost games were due to a defensive mishap, or communication, and while it’s much too late to fix it for this season, winning on Sunday avoids a losing season, and that would be a win after this horrific collapse.
