NFL odds: Raiders given unique exact win total prop for first season in Las Vegas
To say that sportsbooks in Las Vegas are eager for the Raiders to begin their first season in Sin City is quite the understatement. While the NHL's Golden Knights have been playing in Las Vegas since the 2017-18 season, hockey simply doesn't hold a candle to football in terms of betting action/interest. Thus, expect some unusual props on the Raiders this coming season, and William Hill sportsbook already has released one: Odds on the exact number of regular-season wins by the Silver and Black.
Of course, every team is assigned a regular-season win total by every sportsbook on the planet, and the Raiders' is currently set at 7.5, with both options at -110 on the moneyline odds at William Hill. It's not usual, though, to be able to bet on a team's exact win total, with every option between none and 16 available – note that this prop is available on William Hill's Nevada website and not in New Jersey.
Both 7 and 8 wins are +250 favorites – not a surprise considering the overall win total is set at 7.5. Jon Gruden's team finished 7-9 in 2019 in its final season in Oakland. The Raiders have topped 7 wins just once in the past eight years: When they went 12-4 in 2016. That remains the team's lone playoff appearance since 2002. To no surprise, 16 wins is the +75000 long shot followed by zero at +50000.
In addition, the site offers an Over-Under win total of 3.5 at home in the Raiders' spectacular new Allegiant Stadium – which offers views of the Las Vegas Strip from inside. While there have been some coronavirus-related issues, the stadium is expected to be ready for the NFL season. The Raiders already have sold out their entire 2020 home campaign.
Allegiant Stadium also will also host UNLV's football team – the Rebs are set to debut there on Aug. 29 vs. California (coronavirus willing) – and the Pac-12 Championship Game and Las Vegas Bowl. No question that the Super Bowl and Final Four will both be heading to Vegas sooner rather than later too.Â
