突袭者队与圣徒队的赔率，NFL 第 17 周比赛的专家推荐

NFL赛程表的这一部分总是充斥着这样的比赛：两支球队输掉了太多比赛，但赢得了足够多的胜利，足以损害他们的选秀位置，在骄傲和实用之间的无人区对峙。

The Raiders can’t be blamed for wanting to win, but their Week 16 victory had to have the Vegas front office in tears. Beating the 3-12 Jaguars dropped them from the likely second pick in the draft down to sixth, a crushing blow to their chances of getting the type of franchise-altering quarterback they desperately need. Now they head to New Orleans as coin-flip underdogs against a fellow team stuck in record purgatory.

不能责怪突袭者队想要获胜，但他们第 16 周的胜利不得不让维加斯管理层流泪。击败战绩 3 胜 12 负的美洲虎队，使他们从选秀中可能的第二顺位下降到第六顺位，这对他们获得他们迫切需要的改变球队的四分卫类型的机会来说是毁灭性的打击。现在，他们前往新奥尔良，与陷入创纪录炼狱的同胞队进行抛硬币比赛。

This section of the NFL schedule is always littered with such games: Two franchises who have lost too much to be relevant but won enough to damage their draft position facing off in the no-man’s land between pride and practicality.

NFL赛程表的这一部分总是充斥着这样的比赛：两支球队输掉了太多比赛，但赢得了足够多的胜利，足以损害他们的选秀位置，在骄傲和实用之间的无人区对峙。

The Raiders have no quarterback, a backfield of former backups and a prospect who is now on the IR after four games, and a receiving corps whose best member is 28 years old and never had a 1,000-yard season.

突袭者队没有四分卫、由前替补组成的后场和四场比赛后进入IR的新秀，以及一支最好的球员是28岁且从未打过1000码赛季的接球队。

Their best weapon is rookie tight end Brock Bowers, who proved in his first season he could alter the fortunes of any offense and will do so in Las Vegas as soon as there is some semblance of an offense deserving of fortunes. The Raider defense is in better shape, especially with the coverage unit becoming one of the tougher matchups down the stretch, but could badly use a front-seven playmaker to help all-world defensive end Maxx Crosby and linebacker Robert Spillane.

他们最好的武器是新秀近端锋布洛克·鲍尔斯（Brock Bowers），他在第一个赛季就证明了自己可以改变任何进攻的命运，并且一旦出现值得改变的进攻，他就会在拉斯维加斯这样做。突袭者队的防守状况更好，特别是在覆盖范围成为接下来最艰难的对决之一的情况下，但可能会严重使用前七名组织核心来帮助世界级防守端锋马克·克罗斯比和线卫罗伯特·斯皮兰。

All this is to say they have a heap of team needs and every incentive to keep their win column right where it is for the sake of their draft fortunes.

所有这一切都表明，他们有大量的球队需求，并且为了他们的选秀命运而将他们的胜利栏保持在原来的位置。

The Saints have much better immediate prospects on paper, but their two electric wideouts are question marks, with Rashid Shaheed (knee surgery) out and Chris Olave on IR with the latest and most severe in a string of concussions. Olave is out for Sunday’s game. Quarterback Derek Carr has been hurt several times this season, and star running back Alvin Kamara (out) only has so many miles left on the tires.

圣徒队在纸面上的近期前景要好得多，但他们的两名电动外接手还存在问号，拉希德·沙希德（膝盖手术）缺阵，克里斯·奥拉夫在IR上遭受一系列脑震荡中最新也是最严重的一次。奥拉夫缺席周日的比赛。四分卫德里克·卡尔本赛季多次受伤，明星跑卫阿尔文·卡马拉（阿尔文·卡马拉）的轮胎只剩下这么多里程了。

New Orleans spent big this offseason but was never in contention after the injuries began. Winning only hurts the Saints’ already middling draft slot, but seven victories sit better than five after all that cash went out the door. After Monday’s drubbing in Green Bay, however, they don’t look like they have the horses to beat even the Raiders at this point.

新奥尔良队在休赛期花了很多钱，但在伤病开始后就再也没有参加过比赛。获胜只会伤害圣徒队已经中等的选秀顺位，但在所有现金都花光之后，七场胜利比五场胜利要好。然而，在周一绿湾惨败之后，他们现在看起来甚至没有能力击败突袭者队。

Luckily for them, and anyone chasing the under, Las Vegas shouldn’t be trying all that hard.

对于他们和任何追赶底层的人来说幸运的是，拉斯维加斯不应该那么努力。
