Week five’s Monday Night NFL game promises to be an intriguing contest between two mid-tier teams. The 1-3 Las Vegas Raiders will host the 2-2 Green Bay Packers in a matchup that sportsbooks expect to be very close. Here are our top picks for the game.
Despite the Las Vegas Raiders having lost three consecutive games, we believe they are the team to back in this Monday Night contest. Green Bay has not performed very well aside from their week one victory against the Chicago Bears, which may have skewed public perception. And while the Raiders haven’t been at their best, the return of QB Jimmy Garoppolo from his concussion should provide a boost to their offense and lead to a home win.

Davante Adams is one of the league’s elite wide receivers, and in this matchup against the team he played for eight years, he should have a big game. Adams plays a pivotal role in the offense, recording at least six catches in each game and already securing three touchdowns this season. The Raiders frequently look to him in the red zone. Given Adams’ talent and the revenge factor in this game, these odds represent excellent value.
Jordan Love, the young quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, has displayed inconsistency during the first four weeks of this NFL season. After strong performances in weeks one and two, he has thrown three interceptions over the last two weeks. While he’s a young quarterback with room for improvement, Monday Night Football in Las Vegas could pose challenges for him. Despite the short odds, this remains a solid value bet.
