Las Vegas Raiders Lines For Every Game
Football bettors in Nevada have reason to be pleased as multiple sportsbooks are providing lines for all Las Vegas Raiders home games. However, the downside is that the Raiders are considered the underdogs for their inaugural home game at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Field.

Las Vegas Raiders Strength of Schedule
Beginning handicapping NFL season futures starts well with the strength of schedule.
