Raiders vs Jaguars Week 9 Game Info

2022 NFL Regular Season — Week 9
Las Vegas Raiders (2-5, 0-4 Away) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-6, 1-3 Home)
Date: Sunday, Nov. 6, 2022
Time: 1:00 p.m. ET
Venue: TIAA Bank Field — Jacksonville, FL
Coverage: CBS

Two teams in desperate need of a win meet head-to-head in Week 9 NFL action as the Las Vegas Raiders visit the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Raiders were embarrassed in a 24-0 loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 8. It was the first time Las Vegas was held off the scoreboard since 2014.

Meanwhile, the Jaguars let up a game-winning drive in London on Sunday morning to lose to the Denver Broncos by a score of 21-17. It was Jacksonville's fifth straight loss with a final score within one possession. Running back Travis Etienne Jr. rushed for 156 yards and 1 score on 24 carries.

Updated (Sunday, Nov. 6, 11:05 a.m. EST): Money came in on the Raiders this week, who moved their spread from 1.5-point favorites to 2.5 points. The moneyline odds also moved up from -124 to -142 before kickoff.

The Raiders enter this contest as a slight road favorite on the moneyline and the spread. This 1 p.m. ET clash also features one of the higher totals on the Week 9 slate at 47.5 points.

Raiders vs Jaguars Prediction & Pick

What was most surprising about the Raiders' efforts in Week 8 was their inability to move the football down the field. Keep in mind this is a team that had scored at least 19 points in every game before being shut out. A matchup against Jacksonville presents the perfect opportunity to bounce back.

The Jaguars are allowing 237.1 passing yards per game (No. 22 in NFL) as well as 10.6 yards per completion (T-No. 20 in NFL). Quarterback Derek Carr may have a healthy Darren Waller back on Sunday to join All-Pro talent Davante Adams. That's enough of a reason for me to trust the Raiders.

Final Score Prediction: Raiders: 27 | Jaguars: 24

Raiders vs Jaguars Betting Trends

- Las Vegas is 1-5 straight up in its last six away games.
- The total has hit the over in four of Las Vegas' last five games.
- Jacksonville is 0-5 against the spread (ATS) in its last five games.
- The total has hit the over in four of Jacksonville's last six games against Las Vegas.

Raiders vs Jaguars Best Bet

This game is truly a toss-up, so bettors wanting to get in on the action should focus on the point total. The over has hit in four of Las Vegas' last five games overall and it has hit in four of its last six games against Jacksonville as well. Neither of these defenses have been good enough to expect low scores.

Think about it like this. The Raiders have not held a single team to less than 20 points in any game this season. On the other side, the Jaguars have not held a team to less than 21 points since October 9. These offense have enough firepower to get into the 20s and cause the over to hit in this close battle.

Bet: Over 47.5 Points (-110)
