Buffalo Bills Form
Buffalo head to Las Vegas having improved their record to 4-1 with an overtime win at Super Bowl favourites, the Los Angeles Rams.

A week later they marked their first competitive game at their new stadium with a 41-31 win over Detroit, and backed that up by beating the Los Angeles Chargers, 24-16.
Buffalo failed to make it four-in-a-row as they were beaten at home by division rivals New England, 29-26, but they rebounded immediately.
The Bills got back to winning ways last Monday night as they downed the Rams on the road, 37-34 in overtime.
Las Vegas Raiders Form
Las Vegas come into this matchup have now lost back-to-back games to fall to 3-2 through five weeks.
The Raiders opened the campaign with a 27-13 victory over Miami, and that proved to be the start of a three-game win streak.
They went out on the road over the next two weeks and beat the Los Angeles Chargers 26-14, and New Orleans 35-27.
Las Vegas were unable to reach 4-0 though, as they were beaten 30-27 at home by AFC West rivals Kansas City.
The Raiders then followed that up with a 45-17 blowout loss when they visited New England last weekend.
Verdict
Back-to-back road games on the opposite side of the country is tough, but Buffalo are more than capable of recording another victory.
Josh Allen can have his way with this Raiders defense to ensure Buffalo win the game and cover the spread in the process.
