The Las Vegas Raiders (2-4) visit the New Orleans Saints (2-5) Sunday. Kickoff from Caesars Superdome is set for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Raiders vs. Saints odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Raiders have won 2 of their last 3 games after starting the season on a 3-game losing streak. This team is looking to string together a few much-needed wins to make their playoff dreams a reality in a tough AFC West. Las Vegas is 0-3 on the road.
QB Derek Carr'has completed 63.5% of his passes for 1,520 yards and 9 TDs with 4 INTs over 6 games. The Raiders’ recipe for success in recent weeks has been by pounding the rock with RB Josh Jacobs, who is showing out in this contract year.
A lot of questions surround this Saints team, particularly at the QB position. They were led by QB Jameis Winston to start the season, but veteran QB'Andy Dalton took the reins when Winston got hurt and will retain the job despite Winston returning to full health.
