Week 13: Las Vegas Raiders at New York Jets Predictions
It’s Saturday before game day which means it’s time for my weekly predictions.
I believe the Las Vegas Raiders will win in a landslide. Here’s Why:
Jets Are The Worst Team In the NFL
It’s been a hectic season for the New York Jets.
They were the first team to be mathematically eliminated from the playoffs this season.
The Jets are yet to win a single game this season.
Both quarterbacks, Sam Darnold and Joe Flacco, have struggled to effectively throw the football.
The Jets only “light” in their offense is their rushing defense. Even then, their ranked 26th in the NFL and run under 100 yards per game.
The Jets own the 28th-best defense in the NFL, with their lone positive light on the rushing defense. The Jets are 11th on defending the ground game.
While the Jets did defeat the Raiders when they were 3-6 last season, both teams are incredibly different squads.
The Jets simply don’t have the tools to be competitive.
Time for Devontae Booker to Shine
With running back Josh Jacobs out due to an ankle injury he sustained last week against the Falcons, Devontae Booker will take over primary rushing duties, with Jalen Richard as his backup.
Booker has already shown us what he can do this season. He’s averaging 5.5 yards per carry, has scored three touchdowns this season and has the ability to catch the ball as well, just like Jacobs.
If Booker can step up and show that there is a ground game even without Jacobs, that’s a huge moment for Booker in the Raiders organization, and a whole new playbook opened by offensive coordinator Greg Olson.
It’s time for Booker to shine tomorrow.
Raiders win, 24-7
While the Jets have been able to stick close to a couple of games this season, most notably against the New England Patriots a couple of weeks back, I think the Raiders will come on top, learn from last week’s lessons and get back to their winning ways.
