On Sunday, the Washington Football Team will visit Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada to play the Las Vegas Raiders. Washington is 5-6 following a 17-15 victory on Monday Night Football over the Seattle Seahawks. Taylor Heinicke passed for 223 yards with one touchdown and one interception while Antonio Gibson rushed for 111 yards. With the victory, Washington remains in playoff contention in the NFC.

On defense, linebacker Cole Holcomb is the leading tackler with 92 and defensive end Montez Sweat is the leader in quarterback sacks with 4.0.

Las Vegas snapped a three-game losing streak with a 36-33 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day. Las Vegas is 6-5 and tied for second in the AFC West one game behind the front running Kansas City Chiefs. In the victory over Dallas, Las Vegas quarterback Derek Carr passed for 373 yards with one touchdown and Josh Jacobs rushed for 87 yards and one touchdown.

Derek Carr has passed for 3,414 yards with 17 touchdowns and nine interceptions.

Washington and Las Vegas are both coming off big victories but the advantage here goes to Las Vegas, as the Raiders have had extra time to prepare after playing on Thursday while Washington has a short week after playing on Monday Night Football. The Las Vegas attack led by quarterback Derek Carr and running back Josh Jacobs will prove to be too much of the Football Team’s defense to contain. Final Score Prediction, Las Vegas Raiders win and cover ATS 31-27.
