Las Vegas Raiders DFS Spin
Davante Adams caught 7-of-11 targets for 57 yards in the Raiders’ Week 7 loss to the Bears. One of Adams’ missed connections was an end zone look where he put the DB on skates but backup QB Brian Hoyer made a bad throw. It did hit Adams’ fingertips, and he said afterward he should have caught it. The FOX cameras later caught Adams sitting and talking with Jimmy Garoppolo, who will supposedly return from his back injury in Week 8 against the Lions. Adams appears over his shoulder injury, but he is settling in as a mid-range WR1 in this chaotic offense, one that is also funneling looks to Jakobi Meyers.
Detroit Lions DFS Spin
Lions C Frank Ragnow is doubtful for Week 8 against the Raiders. The Lions could be thin up front with guard Jonah Jackson already ruled out, leaving rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs to run behind a makeshift offensive line. The matchup is much better on the ground than it was in Week 7 against the Ravens, but the absence of two starters along the offensive line is clearly not ideal.
Raiders at Lions Betting Trends
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Las Vegas’s last 5 games
The total has gone OVER in 5 of Las Vegas’s last 7 games when playing Detroit
Detroit is 7-1 ATS in its last 8 games at home
The Lions are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games at home
Raiders at Lions Prediction:
Take the under. The Raiders have scored 20 or more points just once this season. And they barely got over that number, defeating the Patriots 21-17 on October 15. Lamar Jackson and the Ravens did whatever they wanted to Detroit’s defense last Sunday in Baltimore, but last time I checked, Lamar doesn’t play for the Raiders. The Lions, meanwhile, are banged-up and didn’t generate much offense last week versus the Ravens. Not that Las Vegas’ defense can do what Baltimore’s does, but the Raiders are capable of keeping the Lions at least somewhat in check.
Raiders at Lions NFL Prediction: UNDER 46.5
