The Las Vegas Raiders (3-4) have dropped four straight, while the New York Jets (2-5) have lost their last two. The Jets are 1.5-point home favorites on the spread, but that number tells only half the story. The line opened with Las Vegas favored, then flipped toward New York even as the betting public piled onto the Raiders. Add a Jets defensive front missing key pieces and a quarterback facing his former team, and there is plenty to unpack. Below is our full breakdown, including a side, a total, and a bonus angle.

Las Vegas Raiders vs. New York Jets Betting Preview
The Raiders have slid to 3-4. Their latest setback was a 35-21 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, which extended the losing streak to four games. Head coach Klint Kubiak has not wavered at quarterback, however. He confirmed that Kirk Cousins will remain the starter against New York, with No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza staying on the bench this week. Cousins still leads the NFL with 16 touchdown passes through seven games.
The Jets come in at 2-5 under Aaron Glenn after a 28-25 loss to the Miami Dolphins last Sunday. Geno Smith starts at quarterback for New York, and the storyline writes itself. The Raiders traded Smith to the Jets in the offseason after he led the NFL with 17 interceptions in Las Vegas a year ago.
Injuries matter more than usual here, especially on the Jets’ defensive line. According to the final Week 8 injury report, New York ruled out defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat and listed rookie edge rusher David Bailey as doubtful. Bailey leads the Jets with 5.5 sacks, so his likely absence removes their top pass rusher. Running back Breece Hall and guard Dylan Parham are questionable. For Las Vegas, edge Patrick Johnson and tight end Carter Runyon are out, while Jackson Powers-Johnson and Jack Bech are questionable. Tight end Brock Bowers carries no game designation.
The Raiders have won the last meeting between these clubs, a 16-12 victory in November 2023.

Raiders vs. Jets Prediction — Is the Public Right to Back the Road Dog?
The market movement is the first thing to address. The Raiders opened as 1-point favorites, and the number has since moved 2.5 points toward New York. That shift happened while 82 percent of spread bets landed on Las Vegas. Movement against a lopsided public side often reflects respected money, and bettors should not dismiss it. The four-game skid is also real, and Smith will have extra motivation against the team that moved on from him.
Still, the matchup on the field leans toward Las Vegas. The Jets will be without Sweat and likely without Bailey, their sacks leader. That gives Cousins a cleaner pocket than he has seen during the losing streak. Meanwhile, the Raiders are 5-2 against the spread this season despite their record. Smith’s turnover history is another factor. A turnover or two would make a short number easy to cover.
The case against is clear enough. Home favorites coming off close losses can be dangerous, and the line move suggests some sharp bettors disagree. At a number this short, however, the healthier pass offense and the depleted Jets front tip the scales. For context on last week, see our Rams vs. Raiders prediction.
The Pick: Raiders +1.5 (-110)
Raiders vs. Jets Prediction — Can Cousins Push This Game Past the Number?
The total has climbed two full points since opening at 44.5, so the market already expects points. Las Vegas games have gone over in five of seven contests, and Cousins leads the league in touchdown passes. The Raiders have also allowed points in bunches during the slide, including 35 to the Rams last week. The Jets also put up 25 points in last week’s loss to Miami.
On the other side, Jets games have stayed under the total in four of seven. Hall’s status is also uncertain. Buying a total after a two-point move also costs some value. In contrast, the Jets’ missing pass rushers and the Raiders’ recent defensive struggles point to a game played above the key number of 44.
The Pick: Over 46.5 (-108)
Final Thoughts and Bonus Angle
The moneyline offers a cleaner way to express the Raiders view. Las Vegas opened at -110 and now sits at plus money. A +107 price carries an implied probability of roughly 48.3 percent. The risk is the same one that applies to the spread. The Raiders have not won in more than a month, and the late move toward New York deserves respect. The points remain the safer route, but the plus price is worth a look.
Bonus Pick: Raiders Moneyline (+107)
Here is a recap of every pick in this article:
- Raiders +1.5 (-110)
- Over 46.5 (-108)
- Raiders Moneyline (+107)
