The Las Vegas Raiders are staying on the road on Sunday to face off against the Jacksonville Jaguars at 1 p.m. ET Nov. 6 at TIAA Bank Field. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.
A win for Las Vegas just wasn't in the stars last week as the team never even grasped a temporary lead. They found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 24 to nothing punch to the gut against the New Orleans Saints. The last quarter was a mere formality since it was already 24 to nothing by the third quarter. QB Derek Carr had a memorable game, but not in the way you want to be remembered: besides failing to produce a single touchdown, he threw one interception with only 3.88 yards per passing attempt.
Meanwhile, Jacksonville didn't finish too far behind, but the squad still lost 21-17 to the Denver Broncos last week. RB Travis Etienne put forth a good effort for the losing side as he rushed for one TD and 156 yards on 24 carries.
This next matchup is expected to be close, with the Raiders going off at just a 1.5-point favorite. The smart bettors have been the ones to keep their money on Las Vegas' opponents whenever they hit the road.
Las Vegas is now 2-5 while Jacksonville sits at 2-6. Las Vegas is 2-2 after losses this year, the Jaguars 1-4.
