Jacksonville Jaguars vs Las Vegas Raiders Prediction

The Las Vegas Raiders will beat the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Las Vegas Raiders will cover the spread, and the total will go under.

Analyzing both teams’ offensive stats reveals a clear advantage for the Raiders in certain key areas. Las Vegas averages approximately 14.7 points per game, but consider that they possess a more efficient passing attack with a completion rate of roughly 66.9 percent, compared to the Jaguars’ 60.1 percent. This suggests the Raiders are able to convert critical third downs and sustain drives, which is essential for scoring against a Jaguars defense that has shown vulnerability at times. Furthermore, while Jacksonville manages about 20.9 points per game, their rushing yard average of 119.7 yards can be undermined by an aggressive front seven, which the Raiders possess.

Defensively, the metrics favor the Raiders as well. The efficiency of their pass defense can create issues for a Jaguars offense that relies heavily on yardage through the air. On the ground, the Raiders allow fewer than 94 rushing yards per game, which could limit the Jaguars’ options. Given the Raiders’ ability to control the tempo through their passing efficiency and defense, and the likelihood of a high-stakes, low-scoring contest, the under is a logical projection for the total points. The combination of these factors strongly indicates that the Raiders will come out on top in this matchup.
