Power-rating comparison
What the model sees in Raiders at Jets
The Raiders travel to face the Jets in Week 8. Our power ratings put the Jets 31st of 32 at -4.0 (Below Avg tier) and the Raiders 32nd at -5.8 (Below Avg tier) — a 1.8-point gap that home field widens to a 4.5-point line on the Jets, 62% to win. It rates as the 10th-widest of the 14 games in Week 8.
The defense wins the headline matchup here: the Jets grade -2.2 on that side of the ball (27th of 32) against a Raiders offense at -4.1 (32nd) — 1.9 points the wrong way for the offense. Going the other direction, the Jets offense (-3.1, 30th) meets the Raiders defense (-1.9, 24th), a 1.2-point gap. Special teams adds to it: the Jets grade +1.3, 1st in the league, against +0.2 (23rd) on the other side — close to a point of hidden margin.
Season-long, the model can barely split them: 6.5 projected wins for the Jets against 5.6 for the Raiders, favored in 4 and 1 of their 17 respectively. Two teams heading for the same neighborhood in the standings tend to produce exactly this kind of line. This game sits 17th-hardest on the Jets' schedule and 13th-hardest on the Raiders'. It is the softest spot on the Jets' entire schedule.
The series is dead level: 7-7 across 14 regular-season meetings since 2002. They have also met 4 times in the playoffs. They last met in 2023: Raiders won 16-12 in November. Over their last 4 meetings the Jets are 1-3. History says these two are hard to separate, which is the one place it agrees with the ratings.
Conditions are unlikely to be the story: across 11 New York home games in November since 2015, the median temperature was 54°F and the median wind 8 mph. That is a neutral-weather profile, which is worth knowing mostly because it removes an excuse from both sides.
Does the model earn this number? In 666 of the 3266 walk-forward games it has been graded on (2013-2024, no market line used), it landed in the 60-65% range. Those favourites went 59%. The 62% on the Jets here sits in that same band, and the history runs slightly behind the claim.
Kalshi has not listed KXNFLGAME-26NOV01LVNYJ, so there is no price on the board and no edge to quote. The model's number to hold it to: Jets 62%, Raiders 38%. Applying our five-point threshold, that makes Jets contracts a buy at 57c or below and Raiders contracts a buy at 33c or below — anything between is inside the noise, and we pass. Week 1's KXNFLGAME contracts opened in May 2026 and the rest of the slate lists as the season gets closer; this page picks up the price automatically when it does.
