The New England Patriots had their NFLĀ record streak of being the betting favorite in 64 consecutive regular season games snapped inĀ their Week 2 road matchup versus the Seattle Seahawks.

The Patriots are favored by nearlyĀ a touchdown in the opening spread for Sunday afternoon's matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders at Gillette Stadium.

The Raiders have exceeded expectations through the first two weeks of the 2020 season. They are 2-0 after beating the Carolina Panthers in Week 1 and upsetting the New Orleans Saints on Monday night.

Las Vegas' offense isn't as talented as Seattle's, but there are plenty of talented players for New England's defense to game plan for.

One of them is Raiders running back Josh Jacobs, who has tallied 182 yards and three touchdowns in two games. Another tough matchup for the Patriots will be Raiders tight end Darren Waller. He's tallied 18 receptions for 148 yards and a touchdown so far. Raiders quarterback Derek Carr also is off to a strong start, completing 73.5 percent of his passes with four touchdowns and zero interceptions.
