Las Vegas Raiders Form

The Las Vegas Raiders are 6-10 for the season and their latest match against the San Francisco 49ers finished 34-37, leaving them 4-6 across their past 10 games and 3-2 in the last five at home.

The Las Vegas Raiders offense has averaged 23.4 points in the last five contests, a statistic that demonstrates an impressive level of consistency given the team’s overall average of 23.9 points per game throughout this season. The defense, however, has lagged behind compared to most of the league’s defensive lines, allowing 24.2 points per game this year,.

Unfortunately, the Las Vegas Raiders are already eliminated from playoff contention. While expectations weren’t high going into this regular season, the 6-10 hosts are already down and out. Locking onto a strong pick in the NFL draft order is the best they can hope for now.

The visitors have given up 22.6 points in the previous five outings, which is more or less on par with the 22.3 points they’ve allowed per game over the course of the regular season.

Despite winning their division, the Kansas City Chiefs can’t rest on their laurels just yet. The next step for the AFC West champions is to hold on to first seed in the AFC Conference. This will hand them a bye week for the wild-card round of the playoffs.
