Week 8: Raiders Visit Jets With Kirk Cousins Still Starting

Read the full recap →

The Las Vegas Raiders visit the New York Jets on Sunday, November 1. Las Vegas is 3-4 after three straight losses, the latest 35-21 to the Rams, and Klint Kubiak said Kirk Cousins remains the starter, with Fernando Mendoza to play "at some point" but not this week. New York is 2-5 after a 28-25 home loss to Miami, its second straight loss.

Cousins' job

Kubiak said there is "no controversy."

Raiders' slide

Las Vegas has allowed 113 points in three straight losses.

Jets' close losses

Four of New York's five losses were by eight points or fewer.

Pregame AI Prediction

Winner called correctly Confidence: Low

How the prediction did

Predicted 23-20 (Raiders vs Jets), final was 38-33. Right winner at Low confidence, with the margin off by 2, in a far higher-scoring game than projected. Kirk Cousins threw three touchdown passes, two to Brock Bowers, and ran for another, Dylan Laube returned a kickoff 95 yards for a score and Matt Gay closed it with a 53-yard field goal. The Raiders' three-game losing streak is over.

Las Vegas' offense

The Raiders have scored 26 points per game.

New York's offense

The Jets have scored more than 24 only once.

Two struggling teams

Las Vegas has not won since Week 3 and New York since Week 5, so this is a narrow lean.

Low.
