These teams have had joint practice sessions this week that will culminate with a preseason game against each other. New England has been giving a lot of snaps to rookie Bailey Zappe, who was 16 of 25 for 173 yards last week against Carolina, although he did throw an interception that was returned 50 yards for a touchdown. Brian Hoyer completed two of three passes for 30 yards, and those two QBs will likely see all the action in this game with Mac Jones sitting it out. The Patriots have split their first two games, but they are 2-0 ATS, and Bill Belichick is 60-46 straight up and 54-45-7 ATS in preseason. Las Vegas has won its first three games, but coach Josh McDaniels still is sorting out his options for the offensive line as he continues to shuffle players in and out, and that will be his main priority in this game. Jarrett Stidham was seven of 10 for 80 yards, and Chase Garbers six of nine for 54 yards while Nick Mullens completed six of nine for 39 yards against Miami last week as the Raiders didn't do much offensively, and all three will probably play again against the Patriots, who have the motivational edge as they try to get their running game going after James White recently retired. Take the Patriots as a Max Play.
