Result: Loss
Money Line: -121.00 Las Vegas (Away)
Result: Loss
We know the Jaguars are terrible again this season, losers of five in a row.
But are the Raiders as bad as their 2-5 record? Their performance in a 24-0 road loss to the Saints this past Sunday might have been the worst of any team all season. It's called into question the merits of Josh McDaniels' coaching ability and Derek Carr being anything better than just mediocre.
Prior to that shutout loss to New Orleans, the Raiders had outscored their opponents by 13 points. Their losses were by five points to the Chargers, six points to the Cardinals in overtime, two points to the 5-2 Titans and one point to the 5-2 Chiefs.
Las Vegas was a playoff team last season. If the Raiders win here, they have a chance to reach .500 as their next two games are against the Colts and Broncos.
Carr has been disappointing for much of the season. But Trevor Lawrence has yet to turn the corner. The Jaguars' lone decent skill position player is emerging Travis Eitenne.
The Raiders afford Carr more weapons than Jacksonville with Davante Adams, Josh Jacobs - the NFL's fourth-leading rusher - Hunter Renfroe and tight end Darren Waller, who could play for the first time in several weeks. I rank Daniel Carlson has the second-best kicker in the league behind only Justin Tucker.
If you discount their last five games against the Colts, the Jaguars would be 4-24 ATS in their last 28 games.
There's also a situational element to this game. The Raiders stayed in the South following their defeat to New Orleans. That was a smart move. The Jaguars had to come back from London following a disappointing loss to the Broncos. So they have to deal with jet lag.
