Green Bay Packers at Las Vegas Raiders Betting Pick
The Week 5 Monday Night Football matchup features the Green Bay Packers taking on the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Packers currently hold a 2-2 record for the season, placing them in second position in the NFC North. Green Bay is coming off a Thursday Night Football loss at home.
Meanwhile, the Las Vegas Raiders are on a three-game losing streak, with their most recent defeat coming against the Los Angeles Chargers on the road. In this game, the Raiders are a small favorite at home.
The Raiders are -1 over the Packers.
Packers’ Scoring Been Strong
In their first four games, the Green Bay Packers have managed to score 100 points while conceding 96. They have experienced both victories and losses in this season’s early stages. Jordan Love is serving as the starting quarterback for the Packers in his debut season, amassing 901 passing yards and eight touchdowns in the first four games.
Romeo Doubs stands out as the leading receiver for the Packers, with 224 yards and three touchdowns so far this season. However, the Packers’ running game has struggled, averaging just 74.5 yards per game, ranking them 30th in the NFL. AJ Dillon has assumed most of the rushing duties as Aaron Jones has been dealing with various injuries.
The Packers are embarking on a series of back-to-back road games, with their next match scheduled in Denver on October 22nd.
Raiders Beat up Heading into Monday Night
The Raiders are entering this weekend’s game with several players listed on the injury report, raising doubts about their game plan. Jimmy Garoppolo, who missed last week’s game, remains questionable for this matchup.
Additionally, Davante Adams is also questionable after missing Thursday’s practice. Their connection has been instrumental, connecting 33 times for 397 yards and three touchdowns.
Josh Jacobs, who led the league in rushing last season, has had a slow start in 2023. Jacobs has carried the ball 62 times for 166 yards and a touchdown this season. The Raiders currently rank last in the league, averaging just 65.3 rushing yards per game. Their offense is scoring an average of 15.5 points per game while allowing 25.3 points per game.
Packers Pick up Big Road Win
Looking ahead, the Las Vegas Raiders will remain at home for their Week 6 game against the New England Patriots.
It’s difficult to envision the Las Vegas Raiders winning this game despite being at home. Allegiant Stadium is likely to be filled with Packers fans, and Green Bay is expected to perform well on the road.
The prediction is that the Green Bay Packers will emerge victorious in this matchup, and they are favored at -105 on the moneyline for Monday’s game. In terms of the final score prediction, the Green Bay Packers are expected to dominate.
Anticipate a resurgence in the Packers’ running game, with Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon having their best performances of the season. The final score prediction for this game is Green Bay Packers 27, Las Vegas Raiders 21.
