Monday Night Lock: 2023 Week 5
Packers @ Raiders (-2.5), O/U 46.5
Two teams trying to get back on the winning side of things square off here on Monday Night. The Packers were embarrassed in primetime last Thursday Night. They’re still a team trying to figure it out. They have a solid defense, young and promising receivers, and a QB still gaining experience.
The Raiders season is slowly spiraling out of control as they’ve lost three straight after winning in Week 1. Jimmy G is back though, and Davante Adams gets to play against his former team. Maxx Crosby has to be licking his lips after watching the Packers o-line gets destroyed last week.
I like the Packers here. If the Packers are going to wind up in the playoff hunt, which I think they will, this is a game they should win. I’ll take the points with the Packers along with the under.
