Philadelphia @ Las Vegas
Current Records: Philadelphia 2-4; Las Vegas 4-2
What to KnowThe Las Vegas Raiders will take on the Philadelphia Eagles at 4:05 p.m. ET Sunday at Allegiant Stadium. Las Vegas should still be riding high after a victory, while Philadelphia will be looking to right the ship.
The Raiders were able to grind out a solid win over the Denver Broncos last week, winning 34-24. RB Kenyan Drake and QB Derek Carr were among the main playmakers for Las Vegas as the former punched in one rushing touchdown in addition to snatching one receiving TD and the latter passed for two TDs and 341 yards on 27 attempts.
Las Vegas' defense was a presence as well, as it collected three interceptions and one fumble. Those interceptions were spread across their defensive unit.
Meanwhile, Philadelphia was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap last Thursday as they fell 28-22 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. QB Jalen Hurts put forth a good effort for the losing side as he passed for one TD and 115 yards on 26 attempts in addition to rushing for two TDs and 44 yards.
This next matchup is expected to be close, with the Raiders going off at just a 2.5-point favorite. But bettors beware: they are 0-2 against the spread when favored.
Las Vegas is now 4-2 while the Eagles sit at a mirror-image 2-4. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Las Vegas is stumbling into the game with the third fewest rushing yards per game in the NFL, having accrued only 79.8 on average. Philadelphia has experienced some struggles of their own as they are fifth worst in the league in rushing yards allowed per game, with 135.3 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
