Monday Night Football odds, line, spread: Raiders vs. Packers prediction, NFL picks by expert on 60-22 roll

The Las Vegas Raiders will try to snap their three-game losing streak when they take on the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football. After beating the Denver Broncos 17-16 in the season-opener, the Raiders (1-3) have struggled, scoring just 45 points in their last three games. The Packers (2-2), meanwhile, have started slow in back-to-back weeks, and it proved costly in a 34-20 loss to the Detroit Lions last week. A week earlier, Green Bay rallied from a 17-point third-quarter deficit to post an 18-17 victory over the New Orleans Saints. Packers running back Aaron Jones will reportedly sit with a hamstring injury.

Kickoff from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nev., is set for 8:15 p.m. ET. Las Vegas is a two-point favorite in the latest Raiders vs. Packers odds, while the over/under for total points scored is 45.5.

Why the Packers can cover

Green Bay is led by first-year starter Jordan Love, who is in his fourth season. In four starts, the 24-year-old has completed 74 of 132 passes (56.1%) for 901 yards and eight touchdowns. He has been picked off three times and has a rating of 88.0. Love is also second on the team in rushing with 72 yards on 16 carries, including two scores. He also has two explosive runs of 20 yards or more, including a long of 24 yards.

The Packers' top receiver has been Romeo Doubs, a second-year player. He has 20 receptions for 224 yards (11.2 average) with three touchdowns and one explosive play of 30 yards. Doubs is coming off a nine-catch, 95-yard performance against the Lions. He had four catches for 26 yards and two touchdowns in the season-opening win over the Chicago Bears. See which team to pick here.

Why the Raiders can cover 

Wide receiver Davante Adams, a former Green Bay Packers standout, is expected to play despite a shoulder injury. He leads Las Vegas in receiving. In four games, he has 33 catches for 397 yards (12.0 average) and three touchdowns. He may need to be counted on with starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo returning from a concussion. In a Week 3 loss to Pittsburgh, Adams had a season-high 13 receptions for 172 yards (13.2 average) and two touchdowns. He had eight catches for 75 yards in last week's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

Defensive end Maxx Crosby is off to a solid start to the season. He has registered four sacks for 31 yards and is fourth on the team in tackles with 23, including 14 solo. Crosby had a season-high eight tackles and two sacks last week. He has a sack in three of four games this year and four in his past five overall. He registered a sack in the last meeting with Green Bay. See which team to pick here.
