Why Bet on the Raiders?
The Las Vegas Raiders are part of the Western Division of the American Conference, which already has a sure winner barring a sports miracle: the Kansas City Chiefs. But this does not detract from the fact that David Ziegler’s team is in second place with a 3-4 record.
In the last game, they lost 30-12 to the Chicago Bears, in a night to forget for quarterback Brian Hoyer, who only advanced 129 yards, did not give an assist for a touchdown, and had two interceptions.
He had to be replaced by Aidan O’Connell’, who completed 10 of 13 passes, with 75 yards, a touchdown assist, and a pass interception.
There was little to note about the offense, other than Jakobi Meyers scored once. Elsewhere, Las Vegas was unnoticed in the game.
However, manager David Ziegler could bring back Jimmy Garoppolo, the franchise player and a quarterback who can give better performances than the current ones. The former Patriots and 49ers player is indebted to the Raiders since is his first season and he has been out of several games due to injury.
Why Bet on the Lions?
The Detroit Lions are one of the best teams in the National Conference and their 5-2 record confirms it at the moment.
However, they are coming off a tough 38-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, where quarterback Lamar Jackson did whatever he wanted, with 357 air yards and three touchdown passes.
The defense was virtually non-existent for Detroit, but the offense didn’t lend a hand either, despite Jared Goff completing 33 of 53 passes for 284 yards and just one interception. But no one on the team was able to score, Jahmyr Gibbs managed only 11 carries and Amon-Ra St. Brown’s 103 yards rushing were of little use.
This could have been an accident against a great team like Baltimore, but the season record proves one thing: Detroit has a complete squad that is ready to fight hard in the postseason.
The loss for manager Brad Holmes is safety CJ Gardner-Johnson while running back David Montgomery is a doubt.
