Now that the NFL schedule is released, it’s time to make predictions and debate how the season will unfold for the Las Vegas Raiders.

With the NFL schedule dropping on Thursday night, it’s time to take a look at how the 2020 campaign will unfold for the Las Vegas Raiders. Of course, a lot can happen between now and September, or whenever the season will start, but let’s have some fun and peer into the crystal ball for the time being.

Las Vegas will host four primetime games this yea,r which is perfect for the city that never sleeps. Also, there is a chance that Week 16 against the Miami Dolphins will be flexed into a Saturday Night matchup, giving Raider Nation another chance at a wild weekend in the desert this fall.

Beyond the new stadium and all the glitz and glamour that comes along with it, this season will be an extremely important one for the Raiders. The team was in the thick of the playoff race until the end of 2019 despite having a very young roster. Now, the expectations are set and many are hopeful that the Silver and Black can continue to develop and get over the hump this year.

Here is a look at how I think this season will unfold for Las Vegas which, of course, is subject to change as we inch closer to kickoff.
