New York Giants vs Las Vegas Raiders Odds

• Opening point spread: Raiders -3.5
• Opening moneyline: Raiders -160/Giants +140
• Opening total: Over/Under 38 points scored
• Time: 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 4 P.M. ET SUNDAY: As kickoff nears, Las Vegas is down to -1.5 at TwinSpires Sportsbook, after opening -3 and making a stop at -2.5. The Raiders are drawing 60% of spread tickets/53% of spread money.

"The public is somehow backing Las Vegas, despite its issues. Some sharp play on the Giants +2.5," Lucas said.

The total went from 38.5 to 37.5 and back up to 38.5. It's now at 38, with 55% of tickets on the Under/53% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: In the middle of the night Tuesday into Wednesday, news broke that the Raiders fired coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler.

That was followed by the announcement that rookie QB Aidan O'Connell would replace Jimmy Garoppolo at quarterback this week. And yet, the Raiders are still favored Sunday.

"It's a battle of two bad teams. The public is still siding with Las Vegas, which shows you how bad the New York Giants are," Lucas said. "We moved 1 point when O'Connell was announced as the starter."

That move was from -2.5 to -1.5, after the Raiders opened as 3-point favorites.

The total is down to 37 from a 38.5 opener, with tickets and money approaching 2/1 on the Under.

Las Vegas (3-5 SU and ATS) played in the Week 8 Monday night game, losing to Detroit 26-14 as 7-point home underdogs.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: New York's grind of a season continued in a slog of a loss to its MetLife Stadium roommate New York Jets. The Giants (2-6 SU/2-5-1 ATS) fell 13-10 in overtime, pushing as a 3-point 'dog.

Las Vegas (3-4 SU and ATS) still has Week 8 work to do. The Raiders are at Detroit on Monday Night Football.

Giants vs Raiders Pick, Prediction

Action Network NFL betting expert Brandon Anderson offers this prediction:

Adams showed his frustration in the loss on Monday night. He had at least 66 yards in each of his first four games, but has failed to top 57 in the four games since. However, his last quality game came with O'Connell at QB.

Young QBs tend to lock onto their top receiving option, for better and for worse. O'Connell targeted Adams 13 times, his second highest mark of the season, for eight catches and 75 yards. That's the exact number we need here, so bet on volume, especially against a bad secondary that ranks bottom 10 against WR1s.

Pick: Davante Adams Over 74.5 Receiving Yards (+105)
