Raiders vs Saints Prediction
In this Raiders vs Saints Prediction, the Saints are coming as -3.5 home favorites. Both teams are coming off wins last week and the Raiders have been undefeated this season and have excellent numbers, ranking on the top-10 of the league both offensively and defensively, for a +13 point differential. On the flip side, the Saints have a weaker defense, allowing 10+ points more than the Raiders and they are 1-3 both straight up and against the spread in their last 4 meetings against the Raiders. I like the underdog in this matchup, so give me the Raiders and grab those +3.5 points.
