New York Jets vs Las Vegas Raiders Prediction & Picks - NFL

Prediction published on 11/1/26, 4:45 AM  by Bill Christy in NFL Picks

Two teams with recent struggles will meet this Sunday at MetLife Stadium. The New York Jets will host the Las Vegas Raiders with both teams sitting at 3 wins apiece through week 7.

The Raiders started the season on a 3-game winning streak, and Kirk Cousins had the offense moving efficiently. However, since then, they have lost their last 4 games, and many are clamoring for rookie Francisco Mendoza to get the starting spot under center. They are coming off a 35-21 loss to the LA Rams. They allowed the Rams to convert on 50% of their 3rd downs and accumulate 386 total yards on a very balanced attack. Ashton Jeanty has not lived up to the position he was drafted in and has run for just 64 yards on 28 carries over the last 3 games combined.

The Jets have also been dealing with some turmoil. Rumors were swirling about Garrett Wilson wanting to be traded during the week. The star receiver is tired of losing, and the Jets have lost 5 of their last 6 games. Their only 2 wins of the season came against the Titans and the Browns, who are a combined 6-8. Breece Hall could be making his return after sitting out with an injury the last few weeks. He could be the weapon they need to help this offense score more than the 19.6 points per game they are averaging.
