Las Vegas Raiders NFL Week 12 Betting Lines

It proved to be the same old song and dance for the Las Vegas Raiders coming out of the bye after dropping a 34-19 non-covering decision to the Miami Dolphins in Week 11 as hefty 8-point NFL odds road underdogs. While Gardner Minshew and Brock Bowers did their damndest to keep the Silver and Black in it, defensive breakdowns and costly penalties prevented the Dolphins from cruising to the win and cover despite only being outgained 353-328 and racking up 22 first downs while converting at a 57 percent clip on third down. The online sportsbook got cooked with the end result considering the Raiders and over closed being aligned with only 10 and 25 percent of the handle, respectively. Currently 2-8 straight up and 4-6 against the NFL spread bringing up the rear of the AFC West standings for the umpteenth time, Las Vegas currently holds the fourth pick in next year’s NFL Draft. You can’t help but think upper management is already eyeing the quarterback of the franchise’s future in that spot. With that, will it have any inclination of hanging with the division rival Denver Broncos in Week 12 betting action? NFL bettors don’t believe so evidenced by a majority of the bets and money going the way of the visitors per current action reports.

The Raiders 1000-1 odds to win Super Bowl LIX and the AFC remain the longest in the league. Initially a 10-1 choice to win the AFC West, their odds of doing so held firm at 1000-1, while the team’s in-season win total odds stuck at 4.5 from the 6.5 opener after absorbing their eighth loss of the year coming out of the bye. Vegas’ odds of punching a ticket to the playoffs were on the incline again this week with the “Yes” jumping to +15000 from +7500 and the “No” still absent from the betting board. It demanded NFL futures bettors pony up $20K just to make $100 last we checked.

Las Vegas Raiders Week 11 Recap

The Las Vegas Raiders fell to 2-8 SU and 4-6 against the NFL spread after a 34-19 loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 11, marking their sixth consecutive defeat. Gardner Minshew showed promise, completing 30 of 43 passes for 282 yards, a touchdown, and one interception, while rookie TE Brock Bowers led the receiving corps with 13 catches for 126 yards, including a 23-yard touchdown. Despite these individual efforts, the Raiders struggled to contain Miami’s offense and capitalize on key opportunities. Las Vegas demonstrated improvement under interim offensive coordinator Scott Turner, converting eight of 14 third downs and scoring on four of seven drives. However, their defense faltered, allowing Miami to sustain three scoring drives of over seven minutes each. A blown coverage on a late 57-yard touchdown to tight end Jonnu Smith sealed the Raiders' fate late in the fourth quarter. Minshew’s lone touchdown came on a 10-yard pass to Ameer Abdullah, which cut Miami’s lead to 24-14 in the fourth quarter. The Raiders' defense, however, could not stop Tua Tagovailoa, who completed 28 of 36 passes for 288 yards and three touchdowns. Antonio Pierce acknowledged the team’s effort but noted execution remained an issue. The loss underscored Las Vegas’ struggles to close out games and highlighted their need for consistency on both sides of the ball.

2024 Las Vegas Raiders Schedule, Results & Record

Once upon a time, the Las Vegas Raiders were the winningest franchise in professional sports. From 1967 through 2002, the Raiders had the highest winning percentage of all teams in the major professional sports. During that time, the Raiders won three Super Bowl championships and threatened for several more.

Just as incredible are the humble beginnings of the franchise. The Raiders were born in 1960 as charter members of the American Football League. They have been in the same AFC West division with the Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers, and Denver Broncos from the start of operations.

In the Raiders' early years were heavy losses on the field and the balance sheet. The team nearly folded on multiple occasions. But in 1963, Al Davis was the dynamic leader that changed everything. Davis took over as head coach and general manager in 1963 and improved the Raiders from 1-13 to 10-4 as a rookie. Davis changed the team colors to silver and black and made the team in his image.

However, the final years of the Davis era were sad and pathetic. The Raiders turned into consistently big losers and played before a dilapidated and half-empty Oakland Coliseum. When Al Davis died, the team passed to his son Mark. Knowing he needed a jolt of increased revenue to survive, Mark Davis moved the team to Las Vegas and sparking new Allegiant Stadium in 2020. Since then, the Silver and Black have produced just one winning season and was unceremoniously bounced from the Wild Card Round by the Cincinnati Bengals.
