Draft Kings: Go with the over in Saints vs. Raiders game
It writes: "It will be interesting to see how high this point total goes after climbing 2.5 points since the lookahead line, but this is a game with some bad defenses. They entered in the bottom ten across the league at Football Outsiders. Both offenses have dealt with some consistency issues, but in recent weeks have put up a lot of points. I think the Raiders probably get the win, but I’m looking at the over with a little more gusto."

Fan Duel: Bet the Raiders on the moneyline vs. Saints
Adam Taylor McKillop writes: "Oddsmakers are giving New Orleans a slight edge ahead of this contest. On the other hand, ESPN's FPI likes the Raiders to get a road victory. Las Vegas may be just 1-4 on the year, but this is easily the most winnable game of its schedule thus far. Both teams average 25.0 points scored per game, while the Raiders are allowing 2.6 fewer points per game. In such an even matchup, turnovers will likely make the difference. That's an issue for New Orleans and its league-worst -10 turnover differential. Las Vegas is just -2 in that stat, and that's why I'm taking Raiders +100 on the moneyline."
