4. Derek Carr Will Throw His First INT of Season

The defense of the New England Patriots has four interceptions on the season with Devin McCourty, Adrian Phillips, Stephon Gilmore, and J.C. Jackson each having an interception, plus the Patriots have six passes defensed.

If Carr decides to challenge the defense of New England, they are more than capable of taking on Carr and the Las Vegas offense.

Las Vegas has to pass the football to win this game against the Patriots, but it will be tough for Carr and company to do so because of the pass coverage the Patriots are capable of putting in their opponents, including the interception this season by McCourty going for a 43-yard touchdown.

Even with Carr completing nearly 74 percent of his passes this season, the Raiders can’t be overconfident when facing the Patriots, especially this early in the season when New England is healthy and playing solid football.
