The Raiders will finally be at home

The Raiders have been away from home for five straight weeks, and it is fair to assume that the Black Hole has missed their team. It is the Raiders’ final season in Oakland, so expect the stadium to be rocking on Sunday.

Home field advantage is a real thing in the NFL, and with the fans being energized in the fourth quarter, maybe the team will not slow down for once. The Raiders have not gotten to stay at home for the majority of the season, so hopefully, the time with their families and sleeping in their own beds does them some good.

The last time the Raiders were home, they fell to the Kansas City Chiefs, though they really only struggled in one quarter. This is a different Raiders team than the one that took on Patrick Mahomes and company in Week 2, and they should net a much better result this time out in front of the home fans.
