4 NFL games Oakland Raiders fans should keep an eye on during bye week
By Alex Perl
Next two
Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions (Monday Night Football)
The Monday night game could quite possibly be the biggest for Raider fans to watch. The NFC North clash features two future Raider opponents in the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers.
The Packers especially is a big one to watch, as the Raiders will travel to Lambeau Field in Week 7 after the bye. The Lions will travel to Oakland in Week 9, when the Raiders finally return from their road trip.
Keep a very close eye on this one as both opponents will be facing the Raiders in the upcoming weeks. This game will air Monday at 5:15 PT.
The New York Jets vs the Dallas Cowboys in most cases would seem like a game in which the Cowboys should easily win, but that may not be the case. Week 6 looks to be quite different for the Jets. The revolving door of quarterback play will finally be closed, as second-year quarterback Sam Darnold has been cleared to play after dealing with a bout of mononucleosis.
The Cowboys have struggling in recent weeks, and will now play a slightly different team than the lethargic team the Jets have been the last few weeks without Darnold. Look for a possible upset here for the Jets, who will face the Raiders in a Week 12 clash in New York. The game will air Sunday at 1:25 PT.
