Both the Jacksonville Jaguars and Las Vegas Raiders lost their Week 7 game before heading into a Week 8 BYE.

Now, the two teams will face each other in a Week 9 showdown in the AFC. The Raiders are doing their best to remain competitive this season, while the Jaguars are working to regain a playoff berth.

Let's dive into the odds and my best bet for Sunday's showdown.

Jaguars vs. Raiders Key Player to Watch

  • Ashton Jeanty, RB - Las Vegas Raiders

Ashton Jeanty hasn't lived up to expectations in his rookie year, but it's hardly been his fault, playing behind one of the worst run-blocking offensive lines in the NFL. He's averaging just 4.0 yards per carry for 445 total yards and one touchdown. Can he hit his stride in the second half of the season?

Jaguars vs. Raiders Prediction and Pick

In this week's edition of the Road to 272 Bets, I broke down why I'm betting the Raiders to not only cover the spread, but win this game outright:

I'm low on the Jacksonville Jaguars, and I don't think they are nearly as good as their record indicates. One of the most glaring issues for the Jaguars has been the play of their quarterback, Trevor Lawrence. The former No. 1 overall pick ranks 32nd amongst starting quarterbacks this season in Expected Points Added plus Completion Percentage Over Expected. Only Cam Ward and Dillon Gabriel rank worse in that metric. Most importantly, Geno Smith ranks 29th in that spot, three spots above Lawrence.

The Jaguars' overall team metrics also aren't as good as their record would indicate, ranking 23rd in Net Yards per Play (-0.4), which is one spot below the Raiders, who come in at 22nd.

The Jaguars are prime to be upset in this spot.
