Las Vegas Raiders Save the Day: Now Pay $800 to Win AFC West

For the sportsbooks Monday Night, the Las Vegas Raiders provided the right medicine needed to cure an otherwise dismal Week 2 in the NFL.

Dave Mason of BetOnline confirmed the outcome:

Very strong night for the house last night thanks to the Raiders. Got back less than 1/3 of what we lost on Sunday's epic beat-down.

Win, lose or draw ---- thanks for the great action this weekend!

His book got hit hard the day prior with wins by Green Bay, Baltimore and Seattle, in addition to the Over in that Sunday Night game.

And the Raiders are starting to make things look especially interesting in the AFC West.

Now 2-0 the newly minted Las Vegas team managed to beat a Saints side that was among the early favorites to win the 2021 Super Bowl.

The division is one that features the reigning Kansas City Chiefs.  That team narrowly squeaked by another division foe, the LA Chargers, in overtime Sunday.

The Raiders still pay an impressive $800 for every $100 bet to win the AFC West.
