The Vegas Raiders had ups and downs during the 2021 NFL season, but considering the abrupt departure of head coach Jon Gruden due to scandal, things went better than expected. The team finished second in the AFC West behind the Kansas City Chiefs with a 10-7 record and advanced to the Wild Card round. From there, they were unable to move forward, as they were eliminated by the Cincinnati Bengals after losing by a score of 26-19.
Josh McDaniels will be the head coach for this 2022 season, and the team looks well on its way, as in addition to the new coach, they also made good hires during the offseason and in the preseason games we are seeing the results of putting this team together.
Las Vegas Raiders have a 3-0-0 record in preseason games after defeating the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-11, the Minnesota Vikings 26-20 and the Miami Dolphins 13-15.
Their opponent for the closing of the preseason will be the New England Patriots and here, at JefeBet, we’ll provide you with information on the betting odds that bookmakers are handling for this match.
Betting Odds and Preview for the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 3 of the 2022 NFL Preseason
Moneyline (-125)
The Vegas Raiders come in as favorites to win this game against the New England Patriots, mainly because they have three wins in three games played so far. The black-and-silver franchise has yet to put all its eggs in one basket, as Josh McDaniels has not made use of his best cards on offense, but the team is still solid.
Over/Under: 37.5
Although in the most recent game the Raiders’ offense was not as threatening, they scored points, and in this game against the Patriots, both teams are expected to present their best on offense to try to win.
Las Vegas Raiders Futures Betting
Seeing what the team’s been like in the preseason and the elements they have at their disposal, we could expect the regular season to be on the right track, but the bookmakers do not have the same feelings about the Las Vegas franchise.
AFC West Champions (+650)
Since 2016, the dominance of the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West has been evident. The Raiders haven’t won the division since the 2002 season, so it’s been two decades since their last win.
The bookmakers are not very confident that this will be the year that the black and silver team will break that streak. The Chiefs are favorites with +160, followed by the Los Angeles Chargers with +250, then the Denver Broncos with +260 and the Raiders with +650.
Raiders win Super Bowl (+4000)
Although the Vegas Raiders’ performance in preseason games has piqued everyone’s interest, the bookmakers do not regard them as clear favorites to win Super Bowl LVII. The Raiders’ odds are +4000, which would indicate that they don’t even get into the top 16 favorites.
