Las Vegas Raiders Super Bowl 59 Betting Odds

Las Vegas Raiders Playoff History

Since being made an NFL franchise back in 1960 the Raiders have made their mark in the history of the Super Bowl whether it was from Oakland or Los Angeles and will look to make their mark even more in Las Vegas. The Raiders currently have 23 playoff appearances, 15 division championships, 4 conference titles, and 3 Super Bowl victories.

Raiders Playoff Appearances

In their 60 years of existence, the Raiders have made the playoffs 23 times with their first time coming in 1967. From 1967 until 1977, the Raiders made the playoffs in every season but one under coach John Rauch in 1967 and the remaining eight under the famous John Madden. When the 80s came around, they saw five different playoff seasons all under coach Tom Flores. More recently, they have not found the same success that they once had as from 1990 until the present day, they have made the playoffs ten times with their last appearance coming in 2021.

Raiders Division Championships

In the Raiders playoff history, they have totaled 15 division championships. They went on an unbelievable run from 1967 to 1977 where they won 8 divisional championships with the exception of 1971 and 1977. From 1977 and on, they haven’t found much luck as they have won just six division championships since then with their most recent one coming back in 2002 under coach Bill Callahan.

Raiders Conference Championships

Many would think that with all of the Raiders playoff experience that they would have followed that up with conference championships as well. That is not the case, however, as they have just four conference titles on their resume. Their first one came in 1976 under John Madden with Ken Stabler under center. Their second and third one came in 1980 and 1983 Tom Flores with Jim Plunket at quarterback. Their most recent one came in 2002 as a part of the short-lived Bill Callahan era with Rich Gannon at quarterback.

Raiders Super Bowl Victories

Being that the Raiders have only four conference championships, their Super Bowl count is low as well but has been efficient compared to the number of conference titles they have as they have won three Super Bowls.

Their first Super Bowl run came in 1976 for Super Bowl XI when they faced off against the Minnesota Vikings. They defeated Minnesota with a final score of 32-14 and had no problems covering their 4-point favored spread. Fred Biletnikoff was named the Super Bowl MVP after putting up 79 receiving yards on just four receptions.

The Raiders second Super Bowl ring came in 1980 for Super Bowl XV where they faced off and won against the Philadelphia Eagles. The final score of the game was 27-10 and the Raiders actually were seen as 3-point underdogs here going into the game. The Super Bowl MVP was Jim Plunket as he had a great game throwing for 261 yards and three touchdowns.

Their third and most recent Super Bowl Championship came three years later in 1983 for Super Bowl XVIII. They faced off against the Washington Redskins and defeated them with a final score of 38-9 and crushed the spread as they were actually seen as 2-point underdogs. It was Marcus Allen who was named the Super Bowl MVP after he rushed for 191 yards and two touchdowns.

Since then, a lot has changed when it comes to where to bet Raiders SB59 odds with endless options in doing so. However, the Raiders Super Bowl 59 odds might look profitable but are offering that profit for good reason.

1976: The Raiders’ Sole Playoff Comeback Victory

The Las Vegas Raiders have had a somewhat extensive history of large comebacks, though they have only completed one comeback of 10 points or more in their playoff history. This took place on December 18th, 1976, in the AFC Divisional Round against the New England Patriots. The Patriots took a 21-10 lead late in the third quarter on a 3 yard rushing touchdown by Jess Phillips. Then, the Raiders scored 14 unanswered points led by quarterback Ken Stabler, whose 1 yard rushing touchdown late in the fourth quarter gave the Raiders a 24-21 lead. The Raiders’ comeback allowed them to advance to the AFC Championship Game - they won that game and ended up defeating the Minnesota Vikings in the Super Bowl.
