The New England Patriots are heading to Nevada to square off against the Las Vegas Raiders in a Week 15 NFL matchup.
The Patriots are fresh off a victory against the Arizona Cardinals on Monday Night Football, while the Raiders were defeated by the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday Night Football.
Here’s everything you need from a betting perspective on the Patriots-Raiders game, from the point spread, moneyline, total Over/Under and expert pick (odds via FOX Bet):

Pick via Gambling Analyst Sam Panayotovich:
The master takes on the apprentice.
Odds are good that Bill Belichick knows most of Josh McDaniels’ tricks, and it’s always dangerous betting against Belichick with an inferior coach. But I just don’t think the Patriots are a good football team right now and the sportsbooks basically agree.
New England is a minimal road favorite for the second straight week and the Pats don’t really have any major on-field edges in this matchup. Las Vegas has a better quarterback, more playmakers and a healthier offensive line.
Obviously, Belichick’s defense is better than Patrick Graham’s, but it’s very difficult to assess how strong the Pats’ unit is when they’ve halted Zach Wilson [twice], Sam Ehlinger and Colt McCoy in the last four victories. Meh.
I think Davante Adams takes the game over in the fourth quarter.
PICK: Raiders (-105 moneyline at FOX Bet) to win outright
Pick via FOX Sports Betting Analyst Jason McIntyre:
In the first matchup between Bill Belichick and his longtime assistant, Josh McDaniels, how can you not take Belichick?
The spot is not great for New England – the Raiders have extra time to prepare having played last Thursday, and the Patriots are staying in Arizona after having played the Cardinals, rather than traveling back to Boston. (We just saw Miami try that after the 49ers game, and they produced their worst offensive performance of the season, for what it’s worth).
The Raiders are in historical territory, having blown four double-digit halftime leads. The Patriots are by no means good (12th in overall efficiency), but the Raiders are 31st in defense, and it feels like a coaching mismatch.
PICK: Patriots (-1.5 at FOX Bet) to win by more than 1.5 points
