GLENDALE, AZ – AUGUST 12: Derek Carr /

There are not many winnable games left on the schedule for the Oakland Raiders, though Sunday is definitely one of them.

The Oakland Raiders are back on the road this week as they head to Arizona to face rookie Josh Rosen and the Cardinals. These two teams have combined for only three wins this season, and both appear headed towards a top-5 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.

These are two banged up teams that are in the midst of major disappointing seasons, and as sad as it sounds this is the best chance either team has at winning another game in 2018. The schedule gets really tough for the Raiders after the Arizona game, so a one-win season is a legitimate possibility.

With that being said, there are a few individual and unit matchups in this game that will significantly determine the outcome. Some strengths against some significant weakness and a battle of two awful position groups that only a true football junkie could bring themselves to watch.

Here are three key matchups to watch on Sunday.
