Raiders vs. Jaguars Prediction: The Jaguars should pounce at home (NFL Week 9)

The 2-5 Las Vegas Raiders are travelling to sunny Florida to take on the 2-6 Jacksonville Jaguars in an AFC conference clash.

The Raiders have underachieved based on their pre-season expectations and need to win now to salvage any hope of having a playoff chance.

They laid an absolute egg last week, getting blanked by the Saints and getting outplayed in every phase of the game.

Derek Carr has been decent but with injuries to Darren Waller and Davante Adams being a bit banged up hasn’t helped at all and has made moving the ball through the air a bit of a struggle.

On the other side, the Jaguars dropped a disappointing game in London to the Broncos, where they threw away a lead late.

QB Trevor Lawrence started the season really well, but has struggled turning the ball over the past month.

It’s been a struggle for both of these teams and they both desperately need to start picking up wins.

Who will get one this Sunday?

Prediction

This line is very sharp and is hard to pick a side here but I have watched both of these teams and they are pretty evenly matched.

I am going to side with the home team here and take the Jags and the points.

Best Bet

Jaguars +2.5 (-110)

Props

Travis Etienne o78.5 Rush Yards (-110)

This is a auto bet for me until further notice.

Since taking over as the lead back for the Jags, Etienne has been sentational.

He has gone over this yards number in 3 straight as the lead back and has gone over 100+ in 2 straight.

I love Etienne to have a big day again today!
