The football season is here and the Las Vegas Raiders have everything to prove in 2021, but can they do it with such a busy schedule?
After months of waiting, the season is finally here and the Las Vegas Raiders will open their 2021 campaign against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday evening. Baltimore comes into play, but they are still the Ravens and will be a huge challenge for this Raiders team in 2021.
The Raiders will try to take the next step under Jon Gruden and finally reach the playoffs in the fourth year. However, to do so, they have to tackle a challenging schedule.
According to Warren Sharp’s metrics, the Raiders have the toughest schedule for the season. They’re one of the teams that will travel the least in the league, so that’s a plus, but outside of maybe three out of four games nothing will be easy.
With that in mind, we’re doing our best to give a quick recap of all 17 games and see where the Raiders could end up at the end of the season.
