Patriots vs. Raiders Prediction and Odds for NFL Week 15 (Raiders Good Bet to Bounce Back at Home)
The New England Patriots saved their playoff hopes with a big win against the Arizona Cardinals on Monday Night Football. They sit at 7-6 and are in the final Wild Card spot in the AFC.
This week, New England will take on the Las Vegas Raiders, who were surging up the standings before inexplicably losing to the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday Night Football.
There’s still a little bit of playoff hope for the Raiders, which gives this game major playoff implications.
Let’s dive into the odds and see how to bet it.

Patriots vs. Raiders Prediction and Pick
I’m going to give the Patriots credit. They did what they had to do beating the Cardinals – unlike the Raiders who failed to handle business against Baker Mayfield and the Rams.
However, Kyler Murray left early in the game, leaving the Cardinals with Colt McCoy. The win breaks a two-game losing streak for the Patriots, but I’m not going to back them this week against the Raiders.
Las Vegas is top 10 in yards per game and in yards per play, while the Patriots are 24th in yards per game and 18th in yards per play. The Raiders’ offense is simply better and has the talent to have a big bounce back game this week.
Also, the Patriots haven’t performed well enough in this spot to make me back them. They are 2-2 ATS as a road underdog and 2-4 ATS as an underdog overall.
Even with a disappointing loss last week, the Raiders are still the trustworthy option as a small favorite this week.
