He shares the NFL lead in interceptions thrown with eight, against just seven touchdown passes.

Overall, the Las Vegas offense is proving to be a disaster area. The Raiders are 30th in scoring offense, compiling 16.0 points per game. They’ve managed to get to 20 points once over the past eight games, needing the defense to record a safety in order to get to 21 points two weeks ago against the Patriots.
Las Vegas suits up reigning NFL rushing champion Josh Jacobs. Yet Las Vegas is dead last in the NFL in rushing offense, gaining a paltry 68.6 yards per game on the ground.
Battle of Defensive Sensations
Certainly the bright spot for the Raiders this season is DE Maxx Crosby. With 6.5 sacks, he’s already more than halfway to equaling the career-high of 12.5 sacks he recorded last season. He’s packaged at least 0.5 sacks in each of the past five games.

When the Raiders have the ball, they’ll need to deal with Detroit DE Aidan Hutchinson. He’s leading the Lions with 4.5 sacks and is #2 in the NFL with 33 QB hurries. The second player chosen in the 2022 NFL Draft also has four tackles for losses and an interception.
Raiders vs Lions Prediction
While the Lions aren’t nearly as bad as they looked in their loss to the Ravens, it’s quite possible the Raiders are every bit as bad as they looked while losing to the Bears. And that’s with or without Garoppolo under center.
Detroit is 4-1 SU as a moneyline favorite this season. The Lions are also 4-1 ATS in the past five games against AFC opponents. Look for Detroit to get right in a big way in this game.
