Monday Night Football from Las Vegas, where the Ravens had an injury plagued preseason, having to replace two running backs who were to share in lots of carries and their starting cornerback. They haven’t met since 2018 but the last two matchups were 30-17 and 34-17 Ravens winning both. They come into tonight -4, total 51, and -190. We shall see if the injuries truly end up to matter. I would assume that is the reason for the adjusted opening line of -6 now -4.
For the Raiders they start out a season with oddsmakers having them the long shot to win the division, home underdogs against a team that lost a total of 5 starters to injury during preseason. I look for them to keep things close and my prediction they end maybe being able to exploit things from the Marcus Peters injury because starting corners who are known for pick 6’s are not readily available after preseason.
My prediction Raiders win outright 27-24.
