The Seattle Seahawks will begin the preseason on the road as they travel to Allegiant Stadium on Saturday night to take on Las Vegas Raiders. This will be the first time Raiders fans will be at the new stadium due to the 2020 restrictions. There is a lot of optimism for both teams, as the Seahawks were a playoff team a year ago, and The Raiders finished 8-8, including a 2-6 home record. Seattle is dealing with a pair of starters sitting out until they sign a long-term contract, and it will be interesting to see how the team manages this situation. On the other hand, The Raiders are looking to take the next step to make the playoffs with a young group of players in a competitive AFC West.

Why bet on Seattle Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks have been dealing with some contract issues, as both offensive tackles, Duane Brown and deep Jamal Adams have not practiced, seeking a long-term deal with Seattle. Without Brown helping out on the left side of the offensive line, this allows guys like the rookie OT, Stone Forsythe, to step up and show they belong. The Seahawks are going to run the ball hard with both Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny, so giving Forsythe some plays in the first preseason game could be beneficial if the team can’t work out a deal with Brown and try to move him before the start of the regular season.
Why bet on Las Vegas Raiders
Las Vegas Raiders had focused on increasing their ground yards when they signed running back Kenyan Drake as a free agent to join Josh Jacobs in the backfield. Their running back room has experience as they will try to help improve players like Jalen Richard, rookie Trey Ragas, and Bo Scarbrough. They will be fighting for the third-string running back role, as they finished last season 14th in-ground yards, with an average of 119.8 ground yards per game with 20 touchdowns. Las Vegas improved by selecting Alabama offensive tackle Alex Leatherwood, as he will receive his first professional snaps here as a right tackle. Seeing if Ragas or Scarbrough can glimpse and survive into next week is something to focus on in the later stages of this game.
Final betting analysis between: Seattle Seahawks vs. Las Vegas Raiders
The Seattle Seahawks are good, but the starters will see little action in the first week of the preseason, while Las Vegas Raiders have a lot of young depth that is trying to prove its worth to survive the last cuts of the year, so expect to see a pretty solid performance as the game progresses. We believe that for this matchup, The Raiders will be the ones to come away with the win on Saturday.
