Raiders (6-5) at Jets (0-11)

■ Time: 10 a.m., KLAS-8

■ Line/total: Raiders -8, 46 ½

■ Analysis: Sure, I have become a Raiders fan, but that doesn’t mean I will play against my pocketbook. Coach Jon Gruden has this team believing that they can win and they can. The Raiders beat Kansas City and almost swept the season series. A case can be made that injuries and the virus have hurt the Raiders’ chemistry. I can’t see them not showing up after last week’s performanc­e in a 43-6 loss at Atlanta. But the Raiders best beware as the Jets are desperate to land a win.

By the numbers: Las Vegas is on a 6-2 ATS streak on the road and 4-1 cover streak overall. … The Raiders have gone over in eight of their last 11 games (8-2-1) on FieldTurf. … The Jets are on a 3-8 spread skid and a 7-15-1 ATS slide vs. the AFC.

Raiders 27, Jets 20

Lions (4-7) at Bears (5-6)

Time: 10 a.m.

Line/total: Bears -3, 45

Analysis: Lions players celebrated on social media after coach Matt Patricia, a Bill Belichick disciple, was fired. But the players better be careful what they wish for. The Bears have lost five straight and need to regroup or coach Matt Nagy also will be handed his walking papers. I don’t know how these two clubs have managed to win nine games between them. Chicago is averaging only 19.6 points per game and Detroit’s defense allows 29.8 ppg. Lions quarterbac­k Matthew Stafford still has thumb issues and linebacker Khalil Mack is expected back for the Bears.

Detroit is on a 5-12 ATS slide vs. the NFC. … The Lions are on a 17-5 over run after a double-digit loss. … Chicago has covered four of the last five meetings at Soldier Field. … The Bears are on a 13-3 under run at home.

Bears 27, Lions 19 ½½
