Game Analysis:

Alright, this game is technically a toss-up. Neither of these teams has had sterling starts to the season, and both are looking to get back in the mix for playoff contention. I think between these two teams the Patriots have the better coach, and when teams are this close in talent it usually comes down to coaching. The Patriots are also not used to getting embarrassed, so I definitely could imagine the Patriots coming out with more passion and more fire and putting the beatdown on Vegas.

The Las Vegas Raiders are not an insurmountable foe for the Pats. As far as victims for a bounce-back win go, the Patriots could not ask for a better candidate. That being said, this is definitely not an easy win for the injured Patriots. The Raiders do have wins against the lowest rung of the NFL right now. And it makes sense, they’ve got the weapons to win these games. Davante Adams is like a Lambo parked outside of a mobile home. He is the best receiver in the NFL right now and people are forgetting about that because he’s stuck with Jimmy G as his quarterback. However, outside of Maxx Crosby, this defense is mostly just tissue paper. They’re an alright team with some elite players.

The Patriots are in a similar yet different boat. What makes them dangerous is their coach. The way in which Bill Belichick can manage games is impressive, especially when he has the pieces that he wants. Unfortunately for the Patriots, they do not have all of the pieces that Bill wants right now due to injury, and that has put them at a disadvantage. However, off of the backs of an embarrassing home defeat, and giving Bill that extra week to work with the players he does have healthy right now, who says this team can’t beat an awful Raiders team.

The Patriots will have more motivation to win this game, bet on the Pats, and remember to always bet responsibly!
