1. Raiders Gain the Win Over New England

As much fun as it has been to watch the Patriots play with Cam Newton as their quarterback, the Raiders might have the overall edge in this game as they are play so well as a team on all sides of the football.

The Raiders have already defeated the Carolina Panthers (34-30) and the New Orleans Saints (34-24), so the two teams they have defeated have star players who are difference makers the Raiders were able to overcome.

As started earlier, Carr is due to throw an interception and Darren Waller could have a big game, but don’t overlook Josh Jacobs in this game either for the Raiders. Jacobs has nearly 200 yards rushing through the first two games with 181 yards on the ground on 52 carries. He’s averaging 3.5 yards per carry and has three rushing scores, so if the Raiders get enough time on the field, Jacobs will be the Las Vegas difference maker.

Expect this to be a close score, with the Raiders winning by a 28-21 score, gaining the road win and staying undefeated on the season.
