Las Vegas raiders had a very busy off-season during which they brought a new head coach (Pete Carroll), the starting quarter (Geno Smith) and the departure of Running Back (Ashton Jeanty).
Will all these changes lead to the first winning season of raiders since 2021? After all, the Carroll teams won at least nine victories in 13 of his 18 seasons as a head coach of the NFL. Let’s see the notable term ratings from Las Vegas to Caesars Sportsbook and offer some best bets.
Super bowl: +9000 (T-24th)
Conference: +4500 (T-11th)
AFC n ° 1 SEED: +6000 (T-12th)
Division: +1200 (4th)
Playoffs: Yes +310, no -400
Total victory in the regular season: 7.5 (more than +135, sub -160)
MVP: Geno Smith +15000 (T-31st)
Best bet: Raiders on 6.5 victories -125 (Fanduel)
This fandual price on more than 6.5 victories is much cheaper than other sports books. Raiders actually have beautiful talents on their list, but they play in a very difficult division with chiefs, loaders and broncos favored to make the playoffs.
The raiders had not had a stable presence under the center since Derek Carr left because they have played five different quarters in the last two seasons. Smith is a big upgrade, and in particular, he particularly prospered when he played in a dome (the raiders play at the alleging stadium in the shape of a dome). In 14 career games, Smith launched 30 affected, five interceptions and posted a note of 110.8. In outdoor matches, he launched 43 affected, 31 interceptions and has a note of 89.7.
If Smith and Jeanty can add juice to the offense, the defense already presents an excellent rush to the passes and Patrick Graham is one of the best defensive coordinators of the NFL. Raiders are clearly the worst team from AFC West, but this group is not a game game and figures to be competitive in many games. With their talent and their coach staff, raiders should be able to reach seven victories.
Best bet: Brock Bowers under 1025.5 reception yards -114 (Fanduel)
FADING A MANAGEMENT SETTED STROND PLOWE FUND, but I think Carroll and the new offensive coordinator Chip Kelly will bring a heavy approach to Las Vegas. Bowers was able to accumulate 1,194 reception yards and 112 receptions on 153 targets following the inability of raiders unable to manage football.
Last season, the raiders had the “monster” with four heads at the Ballon carrier of Alexander Mattison (420 yards on the ground), Ameer Abdullah (311 yards on the ground), sincere McCormick (183 yards on the ground) and Zamir White (183 yards on the ground). In addition to the writing of Jeanty Sixth in the general classification of the NFL 2025 draft, the raiders also added the veteran Raheem Mostert to consolidate the rear field.
Although Smith is undoubtedly better than any quarter-back that launched Bowers last season, I do not think he will get the same reception volume he made in 2024. It is always one of the best tight ends of the NFL, but reaching 1000 reception yards is difficult for any tight end even with ideal circumstances.
