00:004-0-5, a game that's going to get overshadowed.

00:02But I got to tell you right now, I'm intrigued by this game, Joe.

00:05Jacksonville's a three-point favorite, excuse me, on the road taking on Vegas.

00:09This game's going to be in Vegas, Geno Smith going up against Trevor Lawrence.

00:12The total of this game is 44-and-a-half.

00:14You got a lot of weapons coming back.

00:15Like Brian Thomas was banged up.

00:16Now he's been off for a little bit of time, wearing that shoulder harness.

00:19He should play.

00:20Travis Hunter is starting to be more involved in the offensive structure here,

00:24not playing as much defense.

00:25But on the other side, as we talked about early in the show, Jacoby Myers.

00:28This is one of the guys that they're looking to trade.

00:30You know how you get a good trade here for the Raiders?

00:33Hey, put him out there healthy.

00:34Looks like he's going to play.

00:35Showcase him a bit.

00:36Brock Bowers is also coming back.

00:38I can't stand Geno Smith.

00:39But no quarterback is going to be good without any weapons.

00:41Case in point, Kirk Cousins last week, aging quarterback with no weapons at wideout.

00:45They were terrible.

00:46Why am I thinking a sneaky total in this game, Joe, at 44-and-a-half goes over?

00:51Yeah, I'm with you, Donnie.

00:53I love that look here because, let's face it here, I mean, both teams coming off the bye, right?

00:58But everything that I see with this Raiders team, whether Brock Bowers or Jacoby Myers

01:03is back or not, it just feels like the whole Pete Carroll-Geno Smith combo is way overdue

01:09for a separation here.

01:11Meanwhile, you got Liam Cohn, very young coaching staff there, right?

01:15First-time head coach.

01:17The week off there, I think after that London trip, gives them an opportunity to kind of

01:22hit the reset button.

01:23I think both defenses certainly have been better than what we thought they may be this

01:28year.

01:28But I don't think there's a difference with offense.

01:31I think there's a huge difference with offenses.

01:33Jacksonville's offense is much better than anything we've seen from the Raiders, who are

01:38averaging barely 14 points a game, Donnie.

01:41They've scored 26 points in their last three games combined.

01:45I think Jacksonville, a much better choice here to come out firing.

01:49And by the way, Jacksonville, great running game under Liam Cohn.

01:53So I think it's going to be a long afternoon for the Raiders.
