NFL Week 5 Green Bay Packers vs. Las Vegas Raiders Betting Preview & Odds (10-09-2023)

Las Vegas head coach Josh McDaniels is being reconfirmed as an NFL odds fraud. The McHoodie’s claim to fame was serving as Bill Belichick’s valet. He is out of his depth as an HC. In turn, the Raiders have an interesting home-field factor. It is a home field without an advantage. Visiting teams get a college football-style bowl game experience. Hence, opponents bring fan contingents that take over Allegiant Stadium. And they enjoy a few days of fun in Sin City. Meanwhile, the Raiders football operations continue to be a joke.
