NFL Week 13: Las Vegas Raiders at New York Jets odds, picks, and predictions

The Las Vegas Raiders suffered a 43-6 beatdown last week. They were dominated by Atlanta Falcons in NFL Week 12. But the Raiders catch a break this week. They travel to MetLife Stadium to take on the winless New York Jets. Many fans think this year's Jets could be one of the worst teams in NFL history.

Quarterback Sam Darnold's return did little to aid the Jets' quest for a victory. Darnold struggled to throw the football with any real consistency. After a 20-3 loss to the Miami Dolphins, New York remains stuck at the bottom of the AFC East. The mere fact that veteran running back Frank Gore is still the Jets' most consistent performer says everything you need to know about this deficient offense.

As for coach Jon Gruden's Raiders, everything seemed to go wrong last week. They were unable to run the ball, so they resorted to a one-dimensional passing offense. To beat the Jets, Las Vegas will have to play better on both offense and defense. With a win, the Raiders' playoff chances remain solid. Without one, Las Vegas might have to hit the panic button.
