The NFL’s 2020 schedule release was revealed Thursday night, and after seeing how it shapes up, here are five games the Raiders must come away with.

The then-Oakland Raiders ended their second stint in the Bay Area by posting a record of 7-9. That was a three-win improvement over the year before, which was solid, but that is not going to cut it in 2020.

The Raiders have gone out and revamped their roster, especially on the defensive side of the ball, fixing deficiencies on all three levels of the defense. Now, entering their new home in Las Vegas, the hype is stronger than ever, and they have a brand new city, and stadium as well.

The team will play four prime-time games in 2020, all of which will be held at Allegiant Stadium. Along with the arrival to a new city, comes expectations. The Raiders have scuffled over the last decade to say the least, but Las Vegas comes with a new stigma.

After examining their schedule, here are five must-win games for the Raiders in 2020.
