Raiders Chances To Win vs Colts
Las Vegas enters Week 5 as a slight underdog, laying -1.5 points on the road in Indianapolis, according to DraftKings. The Raiders have shown flashes under new coach Pete Carroll and quarterback Geno Smith, who ranked second in accuracy when clean in 2024, but consistency has eluded them. To stay competitive, they must protect Smith, lean heavily on rookie running back Ashton Jeanty, and force turnovers against a Colts defense that averaged 40.7% on third-down conversions allowed last season.
How The Raiders Win vs Colts
Las Vegas needs to dictate tempo through the ground game, and running back Ashton Jeanty must produce 4+ yards per carry to keep Indianapolis’s offense off the field. A solid rushing attack led by Jeanty would allow Geno Smith the opportunity to throw the ball down the field. Defensively, pressure from Maxx Crosby should disrupt Anthony Richardson, which should force mistakes and turnovers (something he is prone to doing).
- Strength: Elite edge rush with Maxx Crosby returning healthy following offseason rehab against a quarterback who often makes mistakes.
- Weakness: Offensive line still needs improvement, and Geno Smith’s pocket time must be protected to avoid pressure.
How The Colts Win vs Raiders
Indianapolis can win by controlling third-down situations and winning the time-of-possession battle behind running back Jonathan Taylor. Their defense allowed just 37.9% on third-down conversions in 2024 and ranked in the top 12 in points per drive allowed earlier this season. If quarterback Anthony Richardson (or Daniel Jones) manages the game efficiently, avoiding turnovers, Indy can stifle Geno Smith's explosive potential. Winning the turnover battle and blitz efficiency should tilt the game in their favor.
- Strength: Third-down defense is elite and does a great job limiting opponents.
- Weakness: Struggled against the run as they allowed one of the highest yards-per-carry rates late last season.
