Jaguars vs. Raiders Key Players to Watch

Jacksonville Jaguars

Brian Thomas Jr.: Don't let the Jaguars' record distract you from the fact Brian Thomas Jr. is having a historical performance as a rookie. He's just 44 yards away from reaching 1,000 yards on the season while also hauling in eight touchdown receptions. He's the guy to watch any time the Jaguars take the field the rest of the season.

Las Vegas Raiders

Brock Bowers: The Jaguars aren't the only team that has an eye-popping rookie on their offense. The only non-QB who has had a more impressive rookie season than Brian Thomas Jr. is Brock Bowers, who has 90 receptions for 968 yards on the season. He could prove to be a generational talent at the position.

Jaguars vs. Raiders Prediction and Pick

In this week's edition of the "Road to 272 Bets", I broke down why I'm going to back the Raiders to get the job done on their home field.

I price this game as a pick'em on a neutral site so with the Raiders playing on their home field, I'll bet on them to beat the Jaguars. Even without Maxx Crosby, the Raiders have the better defense in this game. The Jacksonville defense is the worst in the NFL and they continue to prove that on a weekly basis.

The reality of this game is we have a matchup between two of the worst teams the NFL has to offer. With oddsmakers setting it as a coin flip, I'll just take the home team and hope for the best.

Pick: Raiders -112
