Detroit Lions vs Las Vegas Raiders Prediction: Home advantage will be a huge advantage

At Ford Field, the eighth week of NFL Tuesday Football features a matchup between the Las Vegas Raiders and the Detroit Lions. Let's take a look at this next game and make some predictions. 

The Detroit Lions are currently in first place in the National Football Conference North and are trying to maintain that position by improving their record to 6-2. The Detroit Lions have been successful at home, winning five of their previous six games. The Los Angeles Rams quarterback has a completion percentage of 68 percent while throwing for 1,902 yards, 11 touchdowns, and 4 interceptions. Sam LaPorta has accumulated 35 receptions, while Amon-Ra St. Brown and Josh Reynolds have amassed a combined total of 941 receiving yards and 6 touchdowns. The running game for the Detroit Lions is now averaging 118.4 yards per game, and David Montgomery is leading the way with 385 total yards and 6 touchdowns. The Detroit Lions have a defense that gives up an average of 21.6 points and 316.9 yards per game. The Detroit Lions are led in tackles by Alex Anzalone, who has a total of 50, while Aidan Hutchinson has 4.5 sacks and Jerry Jacobs has three interceptions.

The Las Vegas Raiders are searching for their second victory away from home in order to get their record back to even. The Las Vegas Raiders have now dropped their last three games away from home. The passing performance of Brian Hoyer currently stands at 54.8 percent completions for 231 yards, 0 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. Josh Jacobs has racked up 26 receptions, while Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers have combined for 913 receiving yards and 8 touchdowns between the two of them. Jacobs is the team leader in both rushing yards (347) and touchdowns (2), thanks to the Las Vegas Raiders' ground game, which is averaging 68.6 yards per game. The Las Vegas Raiders are allowing an average of 316.4 yards and 23 points per game because of their poor defense. Maxx Crosby has 6.5 sacks, and Tre'von Moehrig has 2 interceptions to lead the Las Vegas Raiders in total tackles. Robert Spillane leads the team with 57 tackles.

After embarrassing themselves against the Baltimore Ravens the week before, the Detroit Lions will have a sour taste in their mouths. After suffering their first setback of the season against the Atlanta Falcons, the Lions bounced back to defeat them by a score of 14 points while limiting their opponents to fewer than 200 yards of total offense. The Las Vegas Raiders are a terrible football club in every facet of the game, as seen by their rankings of 30th in scoring offense and 22nd in scoring defense, respectively. If Jimmy Garoppolo is going to continue missing time, this isn't going to help the situation. It is just too difficult to back a team like the Las Vegas Raiders given their present form and injury problems, despite the fact that the line is so high. I'll take the Detroit Lions to cruise to victory inside their own stadium.
