Seattle brings the stronger profile, but its passing game faces a Raiders defense that must find a way to halt the slide.
Seattle brings a 5-4 record and No. 8 power-index ranking to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, while the 4-5 Raiders are ranked No. 25 and have lost four of their last five. Las Vegas fell 38-17 at San Francisco in its most recent game; Seattle is 2-3 over its last five and has dropped its last two. Sam Darnold has 1,478 passing yards, 10 touchdown passes and nine interceptions, while Jaxon Smith-Njigba has 1,036 receiving yards and nine touchdown catches; Las Vegas allows 248.7 passing yards per game and has yielded 20 passing touchdowns. The Raiders' counter is Brock Bowers, with 658 receiving yards and six touchdown catches, plus Ashton Jeanty, who has 362 rushing yards, against a Seattle defense allowing 89.1 rushing yards per game and 18 points per game. Las Vegas must turn those playmakers' production into touchdowns rather than settle for field goals to make its home-field opportunity count.
