Raiders vs Cardinals: Best Bets for Las Vegas in 2022 Week 2
By Brad Weiss
The Las Vegas Raiders take on the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2, and here are the best bets you can lay on the Raiders in this matchup.
Looking for their first win of the season, the Las Vegas Raiders will head home in Week 2, taking on the Arizona Cardinals inside Allegiant Stadium. The Silver and Black are coming off a tough road loss to division rival Los Angeles in Week 1, and the Cardinals played an AFC West opponent, getting beaten soundly by the Kansas City Chiefs.
Now, these two teams will battle it out looking to move to 1-1 on the young season and keep pace in their respective divisions. Arizona is a bit short-handed on the outside, with Rondale Moore and Andy Isabella questionable for Sunday, and of course, DeAndre Hopkins is still suspended.
For the Raiders, the Chargers game brought a few injuries of their own, as Denzyl Perryman and Trevon Moehrig are questionable, and Anthony Averett was put on injured reserve. It will be interesting to see what kind of gameplan Patrick Graham dials up to stop the talented Kyler Murray in this one.
Best Las Vegas Raiders Bets in Week 2
Over at BetSided, the talented Iain MacMillan feels that the Arizona Cardinals defense in this one should raise some red flags. Patrick Mahomes had his way against them in Week 1, throwing for over 350 yards and five touchdowns, and for this reason, he loves the Raiders to cover the 5.5 points they are giving to the Cardinals.
One other bet to keep an eye on is the over/under in this matchup, which is currently set at 51.5 points. The offenses could be slow out of the gate, and Arizona is lacking some of their key offensive players, so I could see this one going low.
