Las Vegas overcame two early 10-point deficits and scored 24 consecutive points in winning the first NFL game played in the "Sin City" 34-24 over the Saints. The Raiders had injuries on the offensive line, but Derek Carr was able to overcome that, completing 28 of 38 passes for 282 yards and three touchdowns while completely outplaying his counterpart Drew Brees. New Orleans outgained the Raiders 424-375, but Las Vegas was able to make the big plays when it counted and dominated time of possession 36:18 to 23:42. New England suffered a tough loss at Seattle 35-30, as Cam Newton was stopped near the goal line on the final play. Now the Patriots have to fly coast-to-coast for their next game and they rushed for only 67 yards against the Seahawks, 47 of those coming from Newton. The Raiders have covered five of their last seven September games and New England is 2-6-1 ATS its last nine games dating to last season. The Pats are also 1-4-1 ATS as a home favorite. Jon Gruden is one of the few coaches, who has the pedigree to compete with Bill Belichick, and this game will go to the wire. Take the points with the Raiders.
