Blitz Edge: why the model likes Las Vegas Raiders

The model gives Las Vegas Raiders a 54% chance to win this one. The biggest factors: LV's rush defense (#17) has a 14-spot edge over ARI's rush offense (#31), and LV's total defense (#14) has a 5-spot edge over ARI's total offense (#19).

Home field adds a small extra boost on top of that. ARI is also dealing with James Conner (RB) listed as out, which tips things further LV's way.
