QUARTERBACK

• Kirk Cousins is the projected starting quarterback for LV

  7.13 Y/A

  Through 4 games in 2026, Kirk Cousins threw for 1026 passing yards, completed 64.6% of his passes and averaged 7.13 yards per attempt. Last season over 10 games he threw for 1721 yards, completed 61.7% and averaged 6.4 yards per attempt, 10-5 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 11-4 touchdown-to-interception line is 4 games in.

• Drake Maye is the projected starting quarterback for NE

  7.3 Y/A

  Through 4 games in 2026, Drake Maye threw for 854 passing yards, completed 62.4% of his passes and averaged 7.3 yards per attempt. Last season over 17 games he threw for 4394 yards, completed 72% and averaged 8.93 yards per attempt, 31-8 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 4-7 touchdown-to-interception line is 4 games in.

TRENCHES

• NE: 104 rushing yards allowed per game to LV's 134.5

  30.5 YPG

  LV is at 134.5 rushing yards allowed per game over 4 games; NE is at 104 over 4 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Oct 10.

PASS RUSH

• LV: 3 sacks recorded per game to NE's 2

  1 SACKS

  Las Vegas is averaging 3 sacks a game, New England 2, both over four games. A Raiders rush getting home that often is a strong start, though sack numbers are streaky and depend on the lines faced, which the sheet does not show. For this game, expect more pressure on the Patriots' quarterback, which can stall drives and push New England's scoring down.

PACE & SCRIPT

• LV: 28.8 points per game to NE's 16.3

  12.5 PPG

  These two teams have flipped from last season. Las Vegas scored 14.2 over 17 games last year and is at 28.8 over four games now, exactly what New England put up last season. New England has fallen to 16.3. Four games is a small sample and both numbers could drift toward their old levels, so weigh how much of each swing you believe before pricing this game.

TURNOVERS

• LV: 2.25 takeaways per game to NE's 1.25

  1 TO

  Las Vegas is taking the ball away 2.25 times a game, New England 1.25, both over four games. Four games is a short window, and turnovers are among the streakiest stats in football, so the Raiders' number will likely come down. It is a real edge so far for Las Vegas, but treat the size of it with caution when sizing up this game.

RED ZONE

• LV: 3.75 red-zone trips per game to NE's 2.25

  1.5 TRIPS

  LV is at 3.75 red-zone trips per game over 4 games; NE is at 2.25 over 4 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 10. Last season LV was at 2.12 over 17 games and NE at 3.71 over 17 games.

• NE: 58.3% red-zone scoring allowed to LV's 76.9%

  18.6 PP

  LV is at 76.9% red-zone scoring allowed over 4 games; NE is at 58.3% over 4 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Oct 10.

• LV: 53.3% red-zone scoring rate to NE's 44.4%

  8.9 PP

  LV is at 53.3% red-zone scoring rate over 4 games; NE is at 44.4% over 4 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 10. Last season LV was at 50% over 17 games and NE at 57.1% over 17 games.

MISMATCH

• LV: 1.5 turnovers a game to NE's 2.5

  1.5 VS 2.5

  The Raiders are turning it over 1.5 times a game and New England 2.5 over 4 games. New England was at 0.94 last season, so this is a big jump in a short run, while the Raiders are near last year's 1.35. Expect New England's giveaways to come down. At home, the Patriots win this matchup mostly by holding onto the ball.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

• LV lead the series with NE since 2025

  1-0 SERIES

  One meeting: the Raiders won 20-13 in New England in Week 1 last season, a one-score game. One opener is a small sample, and both teams have had a full season since, so the earlier result tells you little about this rematch in the same building.

REPLACEMENT

• Dont'e Thornton Jr. (WR) is ir-r for LV

  IR-R

  Thornton is still working back from his hamstring and is ruled out for Sunday at New England. His status shows he's eligible to return from injured reserve but not cleared for this one, so the Raiders go to the Patriots without him and his targets get spread among the other receivers.

• Will Campbell (OT) is questionable for NE

  QUESTIONABLE

  Questionable means the Patriots have not ruled Will Campbell in or out for the Raiders game, and the call usually comes closer to kickoff. The report from Oct 12 gives no injury and no detail on how he practiced, so there is little to go on beyond the tag. If he sits, New England has to patch the offensive line, which matters for pass protection and the run game. Check the final inactives before betting anything that leans on the Patriots offense.

• A.J. Brown (WR) is on injured reserve for NE

  IR

  Brown is on injured reserve with an ankle injury, though he was seen in the locker room Wednesday without a noticeable limp. That's an encouraging sign for his recovery, but he still sits on injured reserve, so New England faces the Raiders without him.

• Mack Hollins (WR) is on injured reserve for NE

  IR

  New England placed Hollins on injured reserve Saturday with a calf injury, so he's out against Las Vegas and for at least the next stretch. Combined with other receivers on the shelf, the Patriots' pass catchers are thin this week.

• Jack Bech (WR) is on injured reserve for LV

  IR

  The Raiders placed receiver Jack Bech on injured reserve Tuesday with a forearm injury, per a Sep 29 report. Bech is unavailable for Las Vegas at New England. The Raiders' receiver targets shift to the healthy group, so look at who gained snaps in Bech's absence before backing any Raiders pass-catcher prop.

• Reggie Gilliam (FB) is on injured reserve for NE

  IR

  The Patriots moved fullback Reggie Gilliam to injured reserve on Saturday, Oct 11, with ankle and knee injuries. IR means he is out for this game against the Raiders and at least several more after it. A fullback rarely moves a betting line on his own, so the useful angle is how New England's run game looks in its short-yardage and goal-line packages without its lead blocker.

• Greg Van Roten (G) is on injured reserve for NE

  IR

  The Patriots placed Van Roten (thigh) on injured reserve Tuesday. Reported Sep 30.
