The under is 5-1 in Patriots last 6 games overall. The under is 5-2 in Raiders last 7 games overall. The Patriots are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings. The road team is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings. The favorite is 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 meetings.

It's hard to trust the Las Vegas Raiders because they have a bunch of weird losses, and they find creative ways to lose games. However, the Raiders have had extra time to prepare for this game, and they're at home, where they've had their best success. I don't trust the New England Patriots offense, especially on the road. The Raiders should win this game, but we've said that about them a lot this season. I'll lay the points if forced to pick.
