The matchup that settles it: eight sacks against eight conceded

Las Vegas have eight sacks; New Orleans have conceded eight. That is the cleanest line in the fixture.

Kirk Cousins has six touchdown passes and three interceptions, so the Raiders are capable of handing the game back.

Neither side runs the ball with any success, at 2.8 and 3.0 yards a carry, which should keep both offences one-dimensional.

Players to watch

  • Kirk Cousins (LV, QB): Three touchdown passes at the Chargers, six across the season.
  • Tre Tucker (LV, WR): Five catches for 119 yards and a score in Week 2.
  • Chris Olave (NO, WR): New Orleans’ primary target in a 90-attempt passing game.
  • Tyler Shough (NO, QB): 611 passing yards across two games, with two interceptions.
