Las Vegas Raiders NFL Betting

Last year the Las Vegas Raiders made the 2021 NFL Playoffs with interim head coach Rich Bisaccia. Bisaccia was the Raiders' special teams coach that saved a lost season on the brink caused by the downfall of Jon Gruden. But the unexpected playoff berth was not enough for Bisaccia to get the full-time gig. Instead, owner Mark Davis caught a case of the Patriot Flu. Davis hired New England director of player personnel Dave Ziegler, who quickly sold Davis on hiring Josh McDaniels as head coach. Additionally, QB Derek Carr was extended with a 3-year $121.5 million extension. All of this offseason activity raised expectations through the roof in Sin City, both with fans and gamblers. And then the roof caved in.

Las Vegas Raiders 2022 Season Recap

Last game, the Las Vegas Raiders lost 31-13 against the Kansas City Chiefs as 9-point home dogs. The game went under the total of 51. Las Vegas has a record of 6-11 straight up, 8-9 against the spread, and 8-9 over/under the total. Las Vegas ranks 12th for total offense, 13th for passing, 17th for rushing and 12th for scoring. Defensively they rank 27th overall, 29th against the pass, 19th against the rush, and 26th for points allowed. Also, Las Vegas ranks 17th for fewest turnovers lost and 32nd for takeaways.

Almost lost was the NFL record for total yards in a season that Patrick Mahomes set. He passed for 202 yards and rushed for 29 against the Raiders, giving him 5,608 total yards this season. That surpassed the record of 5,562 yards set by Drew Brees in 2011 with the New Orleans Saints.

More than setting the mark, Mahomes helped ensure the top seed for the Chiefs (14-3) and a bye in the playoffs' first round, which begins next weekend. Kansas City, however, is not assured of home-field advantage throughout the postseason.

The Raiders (6-11) ended their first season under coach Josh McDaniels with three consecutive losses and four defeats in five games. They made the playoffs a year ago but now face serious questions at quarterback, offensive line, and throughout the defense.

Jarrett Stidham started his second game in a row in place of the sidelined Derek Carr, and this performance didn't go nearly as well as the first one. Stidham completed 22 of 36 passes for 219 yards with a touchdown and interception. He was sacked six times.

A week ago, he threw for 365 yards and three touchdowns in a 37-34 overtime loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Stidham said he hasn't thought much about trying to retain the starting job next season with the Raiders.

Raiders running back Josh Jacobs, who was dealing with hip and oblique injuries and a reported family emergency, was a game-day decision but played. He rushed for 45 yards and finished the season with 1,653 yards.

But Jacobs fell short of the franchise rushing record of 1,759 yards set by Marcus Allen in 1985. This was potentially Jacobs' final game as a member of the Raiders because his fifth-year option was not picked up. His performance this season has given Las Vegas officials plenty to consider.

Josh McDaniels was a flop in his first year as Raider head coach, and there is nothing in his resume that indicates improvement beckons.

Las Vegas Raiders Past Seasons (2000)

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.

With a playoff berth last year, the Raiders are optimistic about their future in Sin City and with new head coach Josh McDaniels.
