Oakland Raiders: Five games most likely to be in primetime in 2019

The Oakland Raiders 2019 schedule is not out yet, but we know who they are playing, and where, so here are some potential primetime games.

The 2019 NFL season will be closing the books on one of its historic franchises birthplace, as the Oakland Raiders will be moving. Oakland will no longer be the base of operations for the Raiders as they will be transitioning to Las Vegas come the 2020 season.

That sentiment alone will have the league deeply contemplating on primetime matchups for the Silver and Black, especially at home. However, the final season in Oakland isn’t the lone driving point for primetime royalty.

There is no doubt that the Raiders drastically improved themselves this free agency period. The offense will easily be a point of interest for the general football fan thanks to the addition of Antonio Brown and the haul of receivers. Not to mention that Jon Gruden himself still moves the needle as if he just returned. It’s why the national media loves to overblow every little quote or transaction of his. Gruden stirs the pot and is a headline himself.

The Oakland Raiders have a strong case to warrant multiple primetime games. The only real question is who is the perfect matchup for a primetime game? The answer is whoever can reel in enough viewers to validate national coverage. With that said here are five possible primetime games for the Oakland Raiders in 2019.
