Raiders at Rams NFL Week 7 Betting Lines

Las Vegas Raiders NFL Week 7 Betting Lines

The business decision was made. The Las Vegas Raiders have officially moved on from Davante Adams, trading him away and ending the distraction he posed. However, despite this, head coach Antonio Pierce still faces the same major issue: the team has no reliable quarterback. In today’s NFL betting landscape, a capable quarterback is essential, and the Raiders’ passing game, ranked No. 17, is inflated by the fact that they are often forced to throw while playing from behind. Aidan O’Connell, stepping in for the benched Gardner Minshew, posted a lackluster 79.9 QB rating in his first start against the Steelers. Compounding the problem is the lack of an effective run game, with the team’s primary running backs each averaging fewer than 3.5 yards per carry. This makes it unlikely that the Raiders’ offense will see much of any improvement in their Week 7 betting matchup against the well-rested Los Angeles Rams, despite the Rams’ defense allowing nearly 28 points per game (No. 29). Given the Raiders’ struggles, it’s no surprise NFL bettors are fading them as they head into their fourth road game of the season. The outlook remains bleak for the Silver and Black unless they can address their glaring offensive issues; a tough chore considering they just shipped their biggest playmaker to the east coast.

Only the Patriots, Browns, and Panthers possess longer odds to win Super Bowl LIX than that of the Raiders (350-1), while their 150-1 rate of return to cash in on the AFC title odds clock in as the second longest. Initially a 10-1 choice to win the AFC West, their odds of doing so have swelled all the way up to 120-1 from 60-1, while the team’s in-season win total odds fell to 5.5 from 6.5 after absorbing their fourth loss of the year. Vegas’ odds of punching a ticket to the playoffs have been on the incline in recent weeks with the “Yes” fattening up to +1100 from +600, and the “No” now demanding NFL futures bettors pony up $2500 just to make $100.

The lookahead NFL Week 7 betting lines surfaced with the Raiders dogged by 3-points and the Over/Under (O/U) lined 43.5.

Even so, linemakers dropped the number to beat a half-point to 43. Those betting on the NFL with cryptocurrency also expect Vegas to suffer a third straight defeat and non-cover with action reports relaying the Raiders only being supported with less than 40 percent of the tickets and 20 percent of the handle forcing a 3.5-point market correction up to 6.5 with reduced juice still attached to the Silver and Black’s side of the impost. Las Vegas stands 1-2 SU and ATS on the road to date with the over paying out twice and 44.3 points scored on average.

Las Vegas Raiders Week 6 Recap

The Las Vegas Raiders suffered a tough 32-13 NFL odds defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers, dropping to 2-4 in a season plagued by offensive struggles and key injuries. The Raiders, led by rookie quarterback Aidan O’Connell in place of the benched Gardner Minshew, started strong with an early touchdown drive. However, O'Connell’s momentum fizzled out as he threw an interception and was unable to capitalize on the Steelers’ defensive weaknesses, finishing with 227 passing yards. The absence of star receivers Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers, as well as running back Zamir White, severely limited the Raiders' offensive options. Defensively, the Raiders had moments of promise but were undone by costly penalties, including two roughing-the-passer calls that extended Pittsburgh drives. One such penalty led to Najee Harris’ 36-yard touchdown run that widened the gap. T.J. Watt’s dominant performance for the Steelers, which included two forced fumbles, stifled the Raiders’ ability to generate consistent offense. For the Raiders, this loss underscores the urgency to clean up mistakes and improve execution, especially as their playoff hopes begin to fade. With their top offensive weapons sidelined and their defense struggling to stop the run, Las Vegas has a long road ahead to salvage the season.

2024 Las Vegas Raiders Schedule, Results & Record

Once upon a time, the Las Vegas Raiders were the winningest franchise in professional sports. From 1967 through 2002, the Raiders had the highest winning percentage of all teams in the major professional sports. During that time, the Raiders won three Super Bowl championships and threatened for several more.

Just as incredible are the humble beginnings of the franchise. The Raiders were born in 1960 as charter members of the American Football League. They have been in the same AFC West division with the Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers, and Denver Broncos from the start of operations.

In the Raiders' early years were heavy losses on the field and the balance sheet. The team nearly folded on multiple occasions. But in 1963, Al Davis was the dynamic leader that changed everything. Davis took over as head coach and general manager in 1963 and improved the Raiders from 1-13 to 10-4 as a rookie. Davis changed the team colors to silver and black and made the team in his image.

However, the final years of the Davis era were sad and pathetic. The Raiders turned into consistently big losers and played before a dilapidated and half-empty Oakland Coliseum. When Al Davis died, the team passed to his son Mark. Knowing he needed a jolt of increased revenue to survive, Mark Davis moved the team to Las Vegas and sparking new Allegiant Stadium in 2020. Since then, the Silver and Black have produced just one winning season and was unceremoniously bounced from the Wild Card Round by the Cincinnati Bengals.
