The NFL comes to Las Vegas as the Raiders host the New Orleans Saints. The Raiders are no strangers to moving home and the former Oakland and Los Angeles residents saw their season get off to a promising start with a win at the Carolina Panthers. They had to hang on for that win, after building up a 12 point lead but losing the last quarter 15-7. The Raiders won't be able to have bad quarters against the Saints and come out on top. Last season saw them end with a 7-9 season record and not since 2016 have they made it to the end-of-season play-offs. They are a side that is rebuilding but they are up against a top side this weekend. Their defence does not look capable of dealing with the Saints.

The New Orleans Saints won the NFC South last season with a 13-3 record but then lost in the wild card round of the play-offs to the Minnesota Vikings. They ruined the debut of Tom Brady for the Buccaneers, when beating them 34-23 last weekend. A second quarter that saw the Saints score 17 points without reply put them in charge and they will look to do the same against the Raiders and ruin their home debut.  The tip here is for a Saints win.
