The 2019 NFL season is finally here, and as we look towards the Oakland Raiders Week 1 matchup against the Denver Broncos, here are four reasons they will win.

The Oakland Raiders host the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football for the season opener, and it is a game that Raiders fans should be excited about. The Raiders have a lot to prove, and the match-up with the Broncos is one that works well for them.

The Raiders will likely be without Antonio Brown, as he asked for his release on Saturday, Trent Brown and Kolton Miller face off against some of the best pass rushers in the league, and the Raiders pass rush go against a solid offensive line.

If the Raiders are going to do anything of substance this season, Week 1 will be a good barometer, as it will showcase the improvements they made in their areas of need last season. General manager Mike Mayock did a great job bringing in talent this offseason, and the time is now for them to put it all together on the field.

Let’s look at four reasons the Oakland Raiders will beat the Denver Broncos.
