NFL Monday Night Football Preview: Las Vegas Raiders at Detroit Lions The NFL's Monday Night Football matchup on October 30, 2023, features two teams that are both coming off of wins, but both teams are still struggling overall. The Las Vegas Raiders (2-6) will travel to Ford Field to take on the Detroit Lions (1-7). What to Watch For - Both teams are looking to build off of their previous wins. The Raiders defeated the New Orleans Saints 24-19 in Week 8, while the Lions defeated the Chicago Bears 20-13. - The Raiders' defense has been playing well lately, holding their opponents to an average of 19 points per game over the last four games. The Lions' offense has been struggling, averaging just 19.3 points per game. - The Lions' running game is led by D'Andre Swift, who is averaging 90 rushing yards per game. The Raiders' run defense has been allowing 118.8 rushing yards per game. - The Raiders' offense is led by quarterback Derek Carr, who has thrown for 10 touchdowns and 8 interceptions. The Lions' pass defense has been allowing 245.3 passing yards per game. Key Matchups - Raiders pass defense vs. Lions pass offense: The Raiders have a solid pass defense that is led by cornerback Nate Hobbs, who has three interceptions this season. The Lions have a young and inexperienced wide receiver group, which could be a factor in this matchup. - Raiders run defense vs. Lions running back D'Andre Swift: The Raiders have been struggling to stop the run this season, which could be a problem against Swift, who is one of the best running backs in the league. - Lions offensive line vs. Raiders pass rush: The Lions have a weak offensive line that has been allowing a lot of sacks this season. The Raiders have a good pass rush that is led by Maxx Crosby, who has seven sacks this season. Prediction The Raiders are the better team on paper, but the Lions are playing at home and are coming off of a win. I think the Raiders will win this game, but it will be closer than most people expect. My prediction: Raiders 27, Lions 20 Thanks for listening to Quiet Please.

    Monday Night Football Off Season Update: What to Expect When the 2026 Season Begins

    Monday Night Football is out of season right now, with the regular season not kicking off until September, so there is no official Monday Night Football game scheduled this week and no matchup to watch on ESPN, ABC, or ESPN2. The NFLs 2026 regular season schedule, including all Monday night slates, has been released in broad strokes but specific week by week Monday nighters are not yet in play because we are still in the offseason window, as reflected in current NFL coverage from ESPN, NFL Network, and NBC Sports. Those outlets are focused on minicamps, contracts, and roster moves rather than weekly game previews. If you are looking for where Monday Night Football will air once the season begins, the package remains with ESPN and ABC, with many games simulcast on ESPN2 and streaming on ESPN Plus, a structure that was locked in under the leagues most recent media rights deal, as explained by ESPN and the NFLs own broadcast-partner releases. Games are generally available through cable or satellite subscriptions that carry ESPN and ABC, or through live TV streaming platforms like YouTube TV, Hulu Live TV, Fubo, and others that offer those channels. In terms of significant developments tied to future Monday night headliners, league wide storylines dominate. ESPN and CBS Sports both highlight the Los Angeles Rams as early Super Bowl favorites this season, placing Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, and a retooled defense in the national prime time rotation. CBS Sports also points to Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers as a team the front office is poised to commit to with an extension, a move that would keep him in the center of future marquee games. NBC Sports and Pro Football Talk are tracking the ongoing Brandon Aiyuk saga in San Francisco, where debates over his next contract and possible trade destinations, including the Commanders, could reshape the 49ers offensive star power before the next prime time schedule fully settles. All of that is confirmed reporting and analysis from those networks, while any specific trade packages or unnamed suitors remain in the realm of speculation and rumor. Because there is no Monday Night Football game this week, there are no current odds, spreads, or player prop lines posted at major sportsbooks, and no fresh game specific commentary or predictions from ESPN, Fox Sports, or betting analysts. What you are seeing instead across those outlets is futures talk: over under win totals, conference odds, and best and worst case scenarios for each team, the kind of long view that will shape how we talk about Monday nights once the lights come back on.
