The Judge Remains in New York

Good morning,

Let’s dive in…

Developing Stories 📰

The Las Vegas Raiders (5-7) visit SoFi Stadium to take on the Los Angeles Rams (3-9) on Dec. 8. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15pm EST in Inglewood. Things have gotten so bad for the Rams that they were willing to claim quarterback Baker Mayfield off the waivers this week. Las Vegas won their third straight as they rallied to take down the Chargers 27-20, covering the line as a 2.5-point favorite Sunday afternoon. Los Angeles was edged 27-23 by Seattle at home though they did cover as a seven-point underdog Sunday. In the all-time regular season series between these two teams, the Raiders own an 8-6 advantage. This point spread hit the board as low as Las Vegas -5.5 on Sunday night and quickly marched as high as -6.5 on Tuesday. While some respected books are on the high end with the road team, the market consensus is Raiders -6.

Picks 🔒

NBA: Sacramento +6.5:

• Following sharp money here. The Kings have won 10 out of their last 13. I’m going to take the hot team on the road here.

TNF: Raiders -6:

• They have the skill players to put up points. We have a red hot team with an offense playing at it’s highest level all year going against a slow team without their starting QB.
