Can the Washington Football Team extend their winning streak to four on Sunday by defeating the Las Vegas Raiders? It’s the latest test for a rejuvenated — but wounded — Washington team that was undefeated in November.
The Raiders will present a stiff test for Washington. Las Vegas quarterback Derek Carr leads the NFL in passing yards and has led the Raiders to some impressive wins this year. At 6-5, Las Vegas defeated the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day — Washington plays Dallas in two of its next four games.
So, who has the advantage on Sunday?
According to Tipico Sportsbook, the Raiders are 1.5-point favorites over Washington. With a short week and numerous injuries, that’s about right, regardless of how the WFT has been playing.
What about the experts? Per NFL Pickwatch, 61% of pickers have the Raiders ending Washington’s three-game losing streak. Again, it makes sense. On a short week, Washington is traveling across the country with multiple injured starters.
The two teams last met in 2017, and Washington has won the three previous meetings.
