Raiders vs. Patriots Player Prop

Taking a look at the rushing yards props for this game, Rhamondre Stevenson has a prop set at 48.5 yards.

Stevenson is currently 12th among running backs in rushing attempts this season, accumulating 188 yards so far. As he enters this week’s game, his average yards per carry stands at 2. Even with his prop at just 48.5 yards, I’m still going with the under.

The Prop: Rhamondre Stevenson Under 48.5 Rushing Yards (-118)

Raiders vs. Patriots Predictions

The Raiders opened as 1.5 favorites at home and since then, the oddsmakers have shifted the lines to -3 in their favor.

For this Raiders vs. Patriots matchup, I like the Raiders to cover the spread as 3-point home favorites. Las Vegas’ defense looked good to close out their last game and should put together another strong performance against a Patriots’ offense that has looked hapless over the last two weeks.
