Stephen Nover's NFL Sunday Spread Crusher
(NFL) Minnesota vs. Las Vegas,
Point Spread: -4.00 | -110.00 Las Vegas (Home)
Result: Win
When it comes to preseason, laying more than a field goal is a lot. But it's justified in this case backing the host Raiders.

Las Vegas has the huge edge of having played a game, having looked good in beating the Jaguars, 27-11, in last week's Hall of Fame Game.

The Vikings won't have Kirk Cousins. Their two other QB's are Sean Mannion and Kellen Mond. This is one of the weakest backup QB rotations in the league. These two are so bad that the Vikings may be forced to acquire a better second-string quarterback.

The Raiders are deep at running back and receiver. They hold a backup QB edge, too, with Jarrett Stidham and Nick Mullens. These two were decent against the Jaguars. Decent quarterback play will get the job done for the Raiders, who won't be nearly as rusty as Minnesota.
