Your Analysis
The clear cut right side to this game tonight is the home team.
Now that he has cleared concussion protocol, Jimmy Garoppolo is all systems go for the Raiders tonight.
Hence the reason for the line move, which went from Raiders +1 1/2 (Garoppolo not playing) to Raiders -2 (Garoppolo playing).
For my dollar, I trust Jimmy G a lot more than I trust Jordan Love.
Packers roll in here 2-2 after a season opening blowout win at Chicago ,the 1-point loss at Atlanta, the come from behind win against the Saints at home and of course the blowout loss last Thursday to Detroit.
And let's be real here, if Derek Carr doesn't go down at the beginning of the 3rd quarter with the Saints winning 17-0, no way in hell the Packers win that game.
So bottom line: This is a 1-3 football team, with an inexperienced QB, under the Monday night lights.
Advantage Raiders.
Vegas opened up at Denver with a win, got blown out at Buffalo, then lost to the Steelers at home before last weeks 24-17 loss at LA versus the Chargers.
Last 5 games on Monday night, the Raiders are 4-1 ATS.
As I said at the top, with Jimmy G back, with Vegas playing at home and, this line being so low, the right side of this game is the Raiders.

Rotation # 919-920
Diamondbacks/ Dodgers Over 8
Gallen/Miller
The Diamondbacks didn’t play great in the last few games of the regular season but have been in elimination mode for a few weeks. Teams with this type of pressure are more focused than the Dodgers, who coasted in and didn’t have to be in survivor mode this year. Arizona destroyed Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, who didn’t last an inning in game one. That’s one of the most impressive things you will ever see in this game. The Dodgers will depend on Bobby Miller to keep them from being on the brink of elimination. Miller was outstanding this season but is a rookie and has never faced this type of pressure. Arizona should have hot bats again tonight. Zac Gallen couldn’t have been worse against the Dodgers this year. LA is licking their chops to put up a lot of runs tonight. This game will be high-scoring like the last. Take the Over.
