Las Vegas Raiders come up short of projections, succumb to Supermax, 191.88-159.88

There's no way around it, Las Vegas Raiders underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as Supermax earned a 191.88-159.88 win. Las Vegas Raiders took a 29.2-point lead on Saturday behind Aaron Jones (12.4 points) and Christian Kirk (8.3), but Supermax held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Rex Burkhead, who ran for 149 yards and 2 touchdowns for 30.1 points, and Mark Andrews, who caught 8 passes for 125 yards and a touchdown (22.5 points). The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense (6 Pts Allowed, 273 Yds Allowed, 1 Turnovers) and Justin Herbert (336 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 15 Rush Yds) led the way for Las Vegas Raiders in the loss. This marks the second time this season Supermax have gotten the best of Las Vegas Raiders, after winning 190.01-185.03 in their last matchup.
