The Las Vegas Raiders (0-1-1) will travel to Glendale to face the Arizona Cardinals (1-1) in a Week 3 preseason matchup on Saturday night.

Here at Telecomasia, we will preview this game and offer the best betting opportunities.

Arizona Cardinals: Form and Statistics

Arizona showed some offensive improvement. Jacoby Brissett has been sharp with three touchdowns and no turnovers in two games. Bam Knight impressed with 51 yards on just six carries against Denver, suggesting the run game could have potential. Emari Demercado also contributed 56 receiving yards and a touchdown. However, Arizona's defense gave up 27 points to Denver, highlighting depth issues when starters rotate out. Defensively, Arizona allowed Denver to move the ball easily and failed to force a turnover. The defense struggled to defend the pass, and with injuries to key players like defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson and three offensive linemen (some of whom are questionable or on PUP), Arizona could face challenges with both pass protection and run defense in the next game.

Arizona Cardinals: Team News

Injuries are a concern for Arizona, with Brandon Aiyuk out until midseason and multiple defensive linemen on IR. The defense has allowed 17.5 points per game, while the offense has averaged 18 points, which is respectable.

Las Vegas Raiders: Form and Statistics

Las Vegas enters this game still looking for a preseason win, evaluating depth across the board. Aidan O’Connell started last week and finished 15-of-23 for 138 yards and an interception. Austin Jeanty rushed for 32 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries, and Cole Runyon led all receivers with just 29 yards, highlighting the Raiders' lack of big-play threats behind the starters.

So far this preseason, Las Vegas has averaged only 17 points per game, continuing the offensive issues from last year. They had to settle for a tie against Seattle, and against San Francisco, they struggled in the red zone. O’Connell has been inconsistent, with one interception and no touchdowns. Jeanty has had touches but hasn’t broken any big runs, averaging just 3.2 yards per carry.

Defensively, the Raiders have been more solid, allowing 15.5 points per game. However, injuries to depth players like Josh Fuga and Rashawn Slater could impact rotations.

Las Vegas Raiders: Team News

In their last game, Las Vegas allowed 22 points to San Francisco and struggled to get consistent stops, giving up over 300 total yards and only managing one sack. They showed little pressure from the front. Three defenders—Alex Cappa, Lonnie Johnson Jr., and Leki Fotu—are questionable for Friday’s game, which could stretch the rotation further. The Raiders will need better tackling and more consistent edge play to slow down Arizona.

Arizona Cardinals vs Las Vegas Raiders Betting Tips & Odds

• The Raiders' defense has allowed just 15.5 points per game this preseason. However, last year, they ranked dead last against scrambling QBs. Their injuries are piling up on the O-line and defensive depth. O'Connell hasn't thrown a touchdown in pre-season. Meanwhile, Brissett already has three. Quarterback play is leaning one way here. The bookies have a -1.5 Handicap Las Vegas Raiders option available at 1.781 odds on 1xbet Bookmakers.
• Arizona's rushing attack averaged 144 yards per game last year. Bam Knight's 8.5 YPC in preseason fits right into that. However, Arizona is hurting at WR and DE. The bookies has Over 37.5 runs available at 1.909 odds on Bet365 Bookmakers.

Arizona Cardinals vs Las Vegas Raiders Match Prediction 24th August 2025

In their last 10 games, the Cardinals have a record of 4 wins and 6 losses, with an active streak of 1 loss. Against the spread, their record is 6 wins and 4 losses, with a streak of 1 loss. For the game total points, the Cardinals have 4 overs and 6 unders, with an active streak of 2 unders in a row. This matchup will depend on quarterback efficiency and depth. O’Connell has struggled to finish drives, while Brissett has been nearly perfect. The Raiders’ defense has been strong, but injuries up front may become an issue as rotations deepen. Arizona’s defense is also banged up, but should hold steady in stretches. Both teams average around 17–18 points per game, so totals bettors may lean toward the under, especially with preseason pacing and conservative late-game playcalling. As underdogs, the Raiders have a higher modeled win probability, making them the stronger value against the spread.
