Green Bay Packers at Las Vegas Raiders: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 5 game

Show Caption

"Monday Night Football" will be between two teams taking big gambles in the Sin City as the Green Bay Packers (2-2) take on the Las Vegas Raiders (1-3).

Last Thursday showed there's still plenty of work to be done if Green Bay wants to get back on top of the NFC North, as the Detroit Lions quickly got ahead of the Packers and made it too difficult for a comeback. After back-to-back bad first half performances, Green Bay is looking for a complete game to play.

Even with the home-field advantage − to put it lightly − Las Vegas wasn't able to beat the Chargers at SoFi Stadium. Rookie quarterback Aidan O'Connell had an auspicious debut against a suspect defense, and now the stars of the silver and black are growing frustrated with the early season struggles ahead of what feels like a must-win game at home.

NFL Week 5 odds, predictions and picks

Lorenzo Reyes: Packers 23, Raiders 18

Expect Green Bay to be an up-and-down team all season. Even then, Las Vegas is still a bigger risk here, even if Jimmy Garoppolo can play. Las Vegas has an NFL-worst -9 turnover differential and coach Josh McDaniels’ game management has been questionable at times this season.

Tyler Dragon: Packers 24, Raiders 19

Josh Jacobs, Davante Adams and the Raiders are growing more frustrated with every loss. Adams will be motivated against his former team, but a lack of execution and ill-advised mistakes will doom Las Vegas once again. The Raiders have an AFC-most 10 giveaways. Jordan Love and the Packers get a win in primetime.

Victoria Hernandez: Packers 22, Raiders 17

The Packers had a few more days to rest and prepare after losing to the Detroit Lions. The Raiders, meanwhile, can’t seem to catch a break. They seem to be tired and frustrated after losing three in a row this season and seven of their last nine matchups dating back to last year.

Jordan Mendoza: Packers 24, Raiders 19

If he can play, Davante Adams will want to show out against his former team, but history isn't on his side. The last time the Raiders beat the Packers was 1987. Green Bay has won eight straight against Las Vegas, and they make it nine with Jordan Love having the best game of his first season as a starter.
