Why the Packers can cover
Quarterback Jordan Love, in his first season as the team’s starter, continues to improve and is coming off his best completion percent as a starter. Love connected on 23 of 36 pass attempts (63.9%) for 246 yards and two passing touchdowns and one rushing score last week against the Detroit Lions. He will look for his third game in a row with both a passing and a rushing touchdown. He will also look for his third road game in a row with three or more touchdown passes and a 100-plus rating.
Running back Aaron Jones (questionable) has 50 or more yards from scrimmage in three of his past four games on the road. In his last meeting against the Raiders, Jones had 83 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown reception. He has played well on Monday Night Football and has 512 yards from scrimmage (128 per game) and eight touchdowns in his past four Monday games. In just two games played this season, Jones is still among the team’s top receivers with three catches for 82 yards (27.3 average) and one touchdown, with a long reception of 51 yards.

Why the Raiders can cover
Running back Josh Jacobs led Las Vegas with a season-high 139 yards from scrimmage, including a career-high 81 receiving yards, in last week’s loss to the Chargers. Jacobs also had his first rushing touchdown of the season and had a season-best eight catches. He will look for his third game in a row with 80 or more yards from scrimmage. In his last meeting with Green Bay, he rushed for 124 yards.
Wide receiver Davante Adams is questionable, but is expected to face his former team for the first time. He will look for his fifth game in a row with six or more catches and fourth in a row with 75 or more receiving yards. Adams has a touchdown reception in two of his past three games and will look for his fifth game in a row on Monday Night Football with 115 or more receiving yards. He has 31 career receiving touchdowns in primetime, tied with Antonio Brown for fourth-most all-time. See which team to pick here.
