Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is worth three points to the betting line.
Washington opened as a 6-point home favorite over the Raiders in Sunday’s game, but the line dropped to 3½ when Daniels was questionable with a knee injury.
The point spread dipped as low as 2½ before settling at 3 (even) on Friday when last season’s NFL offensive rookie of the year was ruled out.
“We were already in lower limits because of his questionable status,” Circa sportsbook risk manager Jamey Pileggi said. “We took a bet on Raiders +3 (-105) right off the news and then got a bet at Commanders -2½. So the number seems to be right at a variation of 3.
“If Jayden Daniels was starting, this game would probably close Commanders -6.”
STN Sports reported sharp play on the Raiders at +3½, but that action
