  • Based on preseason odds, the Las Vegas Raiders are +300 to make the postseason in 2024-25.
  • Since moving to Vegas in 2020, the Raiders have one postseason appearance.
  • Why lack of direction at quarterback will resign Las Vegas to another missed postseason.

Based on NFL odds and Raiders playoff odds, the Las Vegas Raiders are predicted to miss the postseason this year.ย 

Las Vegas is currently +300 to make the playoffs for an implied probability of 25%.ย 

Comparatively, the Raiders are -375 to miss out on next yearโ€™s postseason. That price implies a probability of 78.9%.

Prediction: Will the Las Vegas Raiders Make the Playoffs?ย 

I agree with the odds here and predict the Raiders will miss the postseason this year.ย 

Vegas could deploy an above-average defense next year, but I donโ€™t trust its skill players on offense.ย 

The choice between Gardner Minshew and Aidan Oโ€™Connell at quarterback leaves much to be desired. Save for Davante Adams, Vegas doesnโ€™t possess many reliable skill players.ย 

Pair that with the leagueโ€™s ninth-hardest schedule, based on opponent win totals, and I expect Vegas to miss the playoffs.ย
