1. What will the be the Raiders Win/Loss record?

Blackhanside: 10-6.

Brazy: I think a 2-3 win increase over last year is reasonable. I’ll say 10-6.

Dylan: 9-7.

Justin: The Raiders have a young offense that continues to improve and a defense with a good mix of youth and veteran leadership. They filled most of their holes via free agency this offseason, and are poised to challenge for the division with a 10-6 record.

Nick: I’ve gone back and forth between 9-7 and 10-6 throughout the offseason. The preseason didn’t help create optimism, but I’m a believer in the talent that is in place. 10-6.

Seth: 11-5.

Tyler D.: 10-6. I’m going to swing for the fences and I’m confident in this team. #GoRaiders.

Tyler R.: Given that the expectations for the Raiders since post-free agency have been playoffs and nothing less, it seems as though a record of 10-6, or even 11-5, is by all means possible for this team.

I am standing firmly with the fact that their talent, and while still young, their experience, can get double-digit wins. That being said, the Raiders will go 10-6 on the season.
