Las Vegas Raiders vs Washington Football Team: Game preview and prediction

Game Prediction

This is a difficult game to call. Have the Raiders turned around their drama-filled season? Or was the win in Dallas a fluke? This game will truly answer that haunting question.

The Washington Football Team is on fire as of late and will give the Raiders headaches throughout this contest. The Raiders have the home-field advantage, but so far that has not paid huge dividends as the team is 3-3 at home this season.

I do expect the Raiders to have a fire lit under them, and with tight end Darren Waller sidelined, this gives Carr the ability to do something that gets him to his best, and that is trusting his wide receivers. Without the security blanket of Waller, this seems to be when Carr is at his best.

Las Vegas X-Factors against the Washington Football Team in Week 13

Looking to move to 7-5 on the season, the Las Vegas Raiders will play host to the WFT in Week 13, and here are the X-factors.

Washington will not be an easy foe, and recently even took down the defending super bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Nevertheless, the Raiders should take it to the banged-up Washington defense, and this should be the difference in this contest.

Prediction: Raiders 28, Washington 15
