Head-to-Head: Packers vs Raiders
The Raiders are coming off a tough loss, having played rookie Aidan O’Connell in lieu of the injured Jimmy Garoppolo and lost 17-24 to a Los Angeles Chargers team that was looking for their first win of the 2023 season. Garoppolo spent Week 4 in concussion protocol; his status leading up to kickoff Monday Night bears watching, even if he figures to be cleared to play.
The Packers are coming off their worst loss of the young 2023 season, falling 20-34 to the Detroit Lions at home on Thursday Night Football. The discrepancy in the run game was staggering, with the Lions racking up 211 rushing yards to the Packers’ 27 yards. Between that and their other offensive struggles, Thursday marked the first game of the season where the Packers failed to cover the spread.
While these teams scarcely meet – they’ve played four games against each other since 2007 – the results have consistently favor the Packers. They’re 4-0 against the Raiders both straight-up and against the spread since 2007, with the teams eclipsing the point total in all four games.
How to Bet on Packers vs Raiders
NFL betting sites across America will offer lines on the Packers and Raiders. Make sure to check your options to find the best lines, as well as any unique props you’d be interested in betting on.
In addition, try to keep up with each team’s injury report for news that would impact key player availability – such as Garoppolo’s status with concussion protocol. While a high-profile absence (like Garoppolo) will move the lines on its own, the game can easily be swung by whether certain other players are available.

Green Bay Packers vs Las Vegas Raiders Predictions
The lines on this game are exceedingly close and figure to change when the Raiders’ quarterback situation is clarified. If Garoppolo is healthy, this is a game the Raiders can win at home to get up to 2-3. They’ve had a rough open to the 2023 season with three road games in four weeks, and only a 17-16 win over the Broncos separates them from the bottom of the standings.
That could be taken as a case to take the Packers to win and cover. They lost last week against a Lions team that clearly outclassed them that night, but their only other loss of the season is a 24-25 loss to the Falcons in Atlanta. Expect Green Bay to pull out a tight win.
Prediction: Green Bay -1
