New England Patriots at Las Vegas Raiders: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 15 matchup

Bill Belichick's New England Patriots (7-6) continue their West Coast swing when they travel to take on Derek Carr and the Las Vegas Raiders (5-8).

The Raiders blew another late lead to the Los Angeles Rams and now face a Patriots team fresh off a Monday Night Football win last week. Josh McDaniels, who served under Belichick for many years in New England, should be geared up to make a statement against QB Mac Jones and the Patriots' offense. The game will kick off Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET from Allegiant Stadium.

Lorenzo Reyes: Patriots 26, Raiders 20

The Raiders got a bit of a mini-bye after their Thursday loss against the Rams and the Patriots are wildly inconsistent, especially on offense. Mac Jones, however, performs better on the road than he does in Foxborough and the New England pass rush and defense are enough to comfortably back the Pats.

Bill Belichick will have something dialed up for his old protégé Josh McDaniels, whose first season as Raiders coach has been dumbfounding and frustrating, to say the least. Las Vegas, with Josh Jacobs and Davante Adams playing out of their minds, has too much firepower offensively compared to New England.

Richard Morin: Patriots 28, Raiders 23

This game will mean a lot to New England defector Josh McDaniels, but I can only imagine how demoralized that locker room is after the Raiders' Week 14 loss to the Rams. Even if Las Vegas gets ahead in this one, nobody blows a lead like the Raiders
