Las Vegas Review-Journal reporters and editors have made their picks for the Raiders’ game against the Buffalo Bills at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday. Many note the Raiders must find a way to get the ball downfield to keep up with Buffalo’s high-powered offense, a challenge they have not shown they can meet consistently.
The Bills are seen as a top team with elite quarterback Josh Allen, though they have not looked dominant despite a 4-1 record. Review-Journal staff acknowledge Buffalo is vulnerable to turnovers, which the Raiders could exploit if they avoid mistakes themselves.
The Raiders are coming off a humiliating loss to New England and are still in a rebuild phase—better than last season but not yet ready to compete with the league’s best. Injuries, including to Ashton Jeanty, have hindered the ground game, and the No. 2 cornerback spot remains unsettled.
Despite the odds, some staff see a chance for Las Vegas to steal a win if they force turnovers and capitalize on Bills errors, calling it a potential 'trap game' for Buffalo. Others expect a close Bills victory, citing the Raiders’ recent slide in power rankings after back-to-back losses.
