Raiders looked great in the first preseason game, and I think the backups do well again today vs the Vikings who have question marks and holes in starting positions and especially backups. Vikings haven't been known for good defense in the past and with a new coaching regime it's hard to tell what the focus will be for Minnesota. Given the history of injuries for the Vikings I don't see them giving Dalvin and Justin Jefferson much run today, which bodes well for my pick, as I do see the Raiders giving more playing time to certain starters (Renfrow and Waller didn't play last game) and also the backups on both sides of Las Vegas are very good. Zhamir White, Brandon Bolden, ex-viking Ameer Abdullah, Mack Hollins, Demarcus Robinson, Nick Mullens or Jarrett Stidham are all confidently trustworthy backups. Vikings will play Kellen Mond, Sean Mannion, and many younger players with less NFL experience than those on the Raiders depth chart. I'll take Las Vegas -4, as the line opened up at -3 and has only gone UP, and trust Josh McDaniels to show more promise in the start of his headcoaching tenure for the Raiders.
