Let’s back the road team with the points and take the Raiders on Monday night. The expectation is Detroit will be motivated after a poor showing at Baltimore, but Las Vegas is also looking to get on track. The Raiders go from a field-goal favorite last week to an underdog by more than a touchdown this week, which is good value, even against this solid Lions’ team.
Las Vegas’ offense hasn’t traveled well this season, scoring 10, 17 and 12 points in its last three away games – all losses. Garoppolo is expected to return on Monday night for a Raiders team looking for its first road win since squeezing past the Broncos, 17-16, in Week 1. Las Vegas turned to backup quarterbacks Brian Hoyer and Aidan O’Connell in place of the injured Jimmy Garoppolo, but the Silver and Black didn’t reach the end zone until the final two minutes of the game. Jared Goff and the Lions aim to rebound in Week 8 against the Raiders.
