Raiders at Patriots picks and predictions
Prediction
Raiders 31, Patriots 23
Moneyline
BET RAIDERS (+160).
The Raiders have been one of the league's top surprises this season, having won 3 of their 4 games, with the team still looking solid last week in their first loss. Their offense has been productive, moving the ball with relative ease, en route to scoring at least 26 points in each of their games thus far. While they face a Patriots team coming off a momentum-building game with a divisional upset win, the Pats took a beating, as evidenced by the IR. It would be wise to monitor the injury report closer to kickoff to see how many of the questionable players will sit, but Maye will seemingly be down a few weapons, including WR Mack Hollins, who has amassed at least 51 receiving yards in 3 of his 4 games.
Against the spread
PASS.
If you are not as confident about a straight-up win for the visitors, they are 4-0 ATS this season, including in 3 straight games entering as underdogs, providing good value for Raiders +3.5 (-108).
Over/Under
BET OVER 45 (-110).
The Raiders have had no issues finding the end zone this season, scoring at least 26 points in each game, and scoring their season-high 35 points in their most recent road game. Defensively, they have allowed 27 or more points in back-to-back weeks. They have a 2-2 Over record this season.
The Patriots have hit the Over just once this season, last week in which they scored their season-high 29 points. However, they have scored at least 20 points in 2 of their last 3 weeks, while allowing at least 26 points in back-to-back weeks.
Best prop bet
BET ANYTIME TOUCHDOWN: ROMEO DOUBS (+175).
Maye and Doubs' chemistry finally blossomed last week with the pair connecting for not 1, but 2 touchdowns. With Hollins out for the Patriots, the pair will need to continue to connect if they want to keep up with the Raiders' offense, making this an appetizing selection.
