Brock Bowers goes 10 for 116 in his debut as Raiders +3 wins outright

Down 27-16 in the fourth and it did not matter, because New Orleans turned it over four times in that quarter and Las Vegas scored 19 unanswered to win 35-27. Brock Bowers debuted with 10 catches for 116 yards and the touchdown that finished it. Kirk Cousins went 22-of-33 for 248 and three scores. Malcolm Koonce's strip-sack, recovered by Maxx Crosby, set up the lead change. Tyler Shough threw four touchdowns for the Saints and lost anyway. I had the Bowers read right and the mechanism wrong. Cashed by 11.

First, the correction: I told you to pass on this team at -6.5 last Friday and they went to Los Angeles and won outright by 12, so my number discipline cost a winner. I'm not going to overcorrect into a homer pick now. Las Vegas is 2-0 for the first time since 2021 with both wins by double digits and they did it without Brock Bowers, who is probable to debut here after the meniscus trim. The market still has them getting three from a New Orleans team that is 1-1, which tells you the number hasn't caught up yet. The worry is that the public is on the Raiders too, 57% of tickets and 61% of money, and Kellen Moore's Saints just went to Baltimore and won, so this isn't a soft landing spot.
