Oakland Raiders: AFC West 2018 Week 6 Predictions

All four teams in the AFC West will play in Week 6, with the Oakland Raiders going across the pond to play the Seattle Seahawks. Here is the divisional slate.

Another week of regular season football is now in the books. Week 5’s slate of games in the AFC west saw the Kansas City Chiefs remain undefeated by taking care of the Jacksonville Jaguars. It wasn’t through their offense that they dominated that game, but with their defense. It makes sense considering they were going up against Blake Bortles at quarterback. It won’t be so easy for them in week six when they have to face Tom Brady on Sunday night football. The Denver Broncos were steam rolled by the New York Jets, or rather I should say running back Isaiah Crowell.

They made him look like the second coming of Marshall Faulk. Crowell accumulated 219 rushing yards with a touchdown to cap it off. What was supposed to be a strength for the Broncos against the Jets wounded up as their weakness. A weakness that Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay will surely utilize when the two teams meet in Denver on Sunday. Lastly, the divisional matchup between the Los Angeles Chargers and the Oakland Raiders. You could hardly call that a matchup considering the Raiders never showed up that game.

The Chargers practically had their way with the Raiders. That win put them to 3-2 and back on the right path in the AFC west. However, they may be in for a difficult task this Sunday when they square off against the Cleveland Browns. They’ll at least prove more challenging than the Raiders did. With that said, let’s start off with a preview of the game between the Chargers and the Browns in Week 6.
