Las Vegas Raiders start and end the season with the same division opponent

The Las Vegas Raiders will have a lot of new features going into next season. They have new members in their front office, a nearly new coaching staff, and many new players who should expect significant playing time this upcoming season. However, one thing remains the same for the Raiders this season.

The Silver and Black open their season against a division opponent for the second straight season. Last season it was the Denver Broncos. This season, the Raiders will go on the road against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Raiders and Chargers face off in their regular season finale in Las Vegas.

It is an advantage for them that the Raiders play a division game early in the season because if they lose, there is still an entire season to make up for the loss. If they win, they’ll steal a road and a division win to start the season, which should help them move in the right direction. The game in Los Angeles benefits the team as logistically it is not a true road game, unlike their second game of the season against the Baltimore Ravens.

The Kansas City Chiefs have won the AFC West eight seasons in a row, and while the Raiders would like to challenge them for the division title until another AFC West team wins the division, every other team in the AFC West is challenging for a Wild Card. spot in the play-offs. That means that even though it’s only the first game of the season, it could still be one of the most important games the Raiders play all season.

The same applies to their match in the last week of the season. Both teams could be in the playoffs in the final weeks, making their end-of-season matchup one of the most important games of each team’s season, unlike last season when the Raiders and Broncos faced off in the first and last game of the season. The season.

The Raiders have one of the most challenging schedules in the league, but there is no such thing as an easy schedule in the National Football League. While the Raiders’ schedule is tough, it is set up so that if they win one or two games they are not expected to win, they could have a much more successful season than many think.
