1. Saints Pick Up Double-Digit Victory
It all lines up well for the Raiders in Week 2. This will be a Monday night matchup where Las Vegas will play their first game in their new town and their brand new $2 billion Allegiant Stadium. There will be no fans in the stadium but the vibe of a home opener will still be present.
The Saints have a chance to ruin the celebration as they have opened at 5.5-point favorites. This line could go up as the Saints have a chance to win this game by double-digits. Top to bottom, the Saints are just the superior football team in this matchup.
Whether it is offensively or defensively, the Saints should have the upper hand in both. New Orleans is a Super Bowl contender this season and is looking to win their fourth straight NFC South title.
This has the makings of a 34-20 victory for the Saints. They will be able to score early and often while getting comfortable defensively. The Raiders will have to kick it into high gear if they want to steal this game.
