Why Bet on the Las Vegas Raiders?

The Raiders are on the verge of missing a fifth playoff appearance since 2016. The side currently sits dead last in the AFC West with a 6-7 record. However, there’s still hope for head coach Rich Bisaccia and his squad as they head on to the final stretch of the season.

Las Vegas looks to recover from a tough 48-9 defeat to the Chiefs in Week 14. It was the second time the team was held to a single-digit score since their 20-9 loss to Bears in Week 6. In their losing efforts, the Raiders produced 290 total yards. What made all the difference for their opponents were the five turnovers they committed. As a team, the Raiders concede an average of one turnover per game (fifth worst in the league).

The Raiders average 22.8 points (17th) while allowing 26.0 opponent points (26th) per game. Offensively, they have underwhelming rushing statistics but produce impressive passing numbers. The side holds one of the best passing yards per game records in the league. They average 291.3 passing yards (second) in 13 games played. Overall, the team evens out to 379.3 yards (eighth) per game.

The team has plenty of ground to cover on defense. They allow 124.8 opponent rushing yards (26th) and 230.6 opponent passing yards (13th) per game. The former will be put to the test once they challenge the rushing-heavy Browns.

Why Bet on the Cleveland Browns?

The Browns’ results have been erratic in recent weeks. Nonetheless, the team performed well enough to hold second place in AFC North and a 7-6 overall record. They evened out back-to-back games with the Ravens in a 24-22 victory last weekend.

It’s been three games since the Browns scored more than 20 points in a game. They are not the highest-scoring team in the league with 21.2 points per game average (19th). The squad specialized in rushing attacks. Overall, they average 147.1 rushing yards (third) per game. Additionally, the Browns hold the fourth-best rushing touchdowns record at 1.4 per game. As for the passing game, the team documents 207.0 passing yards (24th) per game.

Defensively, the Browns limit opponents to 22.3 points (12th) per game. They have one of the best safeguards against passing plays. The Browns restrict opponents to 210.3 passing yards (eighth) per game. Furthermore, they put up a decent defense against rushing play with 105.3 opponent rushing yards (11th) per game.

The Browns have several starters that will sit the game out, including wide receiver Anthony Schwartz, middle linebacker Anthony Walker, strong safety Ronnie Harrison Jr., and right cornerback Greg Newsome II. No starters are doubtful to play Saturday’s game.
