Sunday afternoon’s loaded NFL Week 5 slate features an AFC showdown between the Las Vegas Raiders and the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET.

The Raiders (3–1, 2nd AFC West) are coming off their first loss of the season, a 30–27 home defeat against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Patriots (2–2, 2nd AFC East) got back to .500 with a 29–26 upset win over the Bills in Buffalo.

New England is a 3.5-point home favorite with -192 moneyline odds on DraftKings Sportsbook. Las Vegas is a +160 underdog, with the game total set at O/U 45.5 points. 

Let’s dive into the top player prop bets for Sunday’s clash between the Raiders and the Patriots. 

Raiders vs. Patriots NFL Player Prop Bets for Week 5

Drake Maye 1+ Interceptions Thrown (-123)

Drake Maye is coming off a much-needed bounce-back performance in Week 4, throwing for 269 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Patriots to an upset road win over the Bills. However, last season’s MVP runner-up added to his league-leading interception total by tossing his seventh pick of the season to end the first half. 

The third-year quarterback has been constantly disrupted by heavy defensive pressure and has thrown at least one interception in every game so far. Those struggles will likely persist in Week 5 against a relentless Raiders defense anchored by star pass rusher Maxx Crosby. Las Vegas ranks 12th in the NFL with a 37.9 percent pressure rate and leads the league with nine total turnovers forced, including four interceptions.

Brock Bowers 8+ Receptions (+147)

The Patriots have been extremely successful at limiting tight ends early on this season, allowing just 13 receptions to the position. That said, New England has yet to face a serious threat at TE — nothing remotely close to what they’ll face in Week 5.

Brock Bowers has only been back for two games and is already tied for the second-most targets on the Raiders this season (24). The third-year superstar functions as Las Vegas’ WR1 and has exploded for 16 catches, 202 yards, and two touchdowns since returning from a knee injury in Week 3. With the team potentially missing a primary pass-catching option in Ashton Jeanty (Q), veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins could have tunnel vision on Bowers. But even if Jeanty suits up, Bowers’ sheer offensive gravity should keep him deeply immersed in Sunday’s action.
