The Raiders can beat the Seahawks
This is not the same Seahawks team that looked to be a potential dynasty a few years back, they’re 2-3 on the season and there’s good reason for that. A 2-3 record sure looks different on paper, but there’s just one win separating Seattle from Oakland’s record right now, and the Raiders have a good shot at leaving Wembley with the same record as the Seahawks.
A win on Sunday could send the Raiders home with a positive boost heading into their bye week. The Raiders cannot afford to lay an egg as they did last week, and they realize this coming into their matchup in London. While the start to the season has not been what they may have hoped for, they have a generous schedule of opponents these next few weeks and it begins with Seattle.
Despite the start to the season, there is plenty that is salvageable going forward if this team takes the step in the right direction. That begins on Sunday and in order to take that step they’ll need to a convincing win against the Seahawks.
