Las Vegas Raiders Team Total Under 16.5 (-135)

Dating back to 1992, week 2 home favs of 9+ with a total of 44 or less are 11-1 (91.7%) to the under when both teams lost in week 1.  Opposing teams averaged 6.9 ppg with none of them surpassing 13 points.

The Ravens just happened to face Patrick Mahomes in week 1.  This is still an elite defense that led the league in points allowed last season and they will come to play after losing and giving up 27 pts.  In this game they have rest advantage after playing TNF.  They also have much easier competition in Gardener Minshew and a lackluster Raiders team that struggled to surpass 10 points against the Chargers.  Since John Harbaugh became the coach in 2008, the Ravens allow an average of 14.9 ppg when off a loss and with rest advantage of 3+ days.  The last instance was vs a much better QB (CJ Stroud) in the playoffs last year.  The Raiders will be lucky to get to double digits in this game. This is playable down to 13.5 at better odds.
