Week 5: Raiders @ Chiefs (-10.5)

For the first time since 2013, the Raiders are traveling to Arrowhead Stadium before the month of December.  While the cold temperatures won’t be an issue, the Chiefs are still the cream of the crop in the AFC West division, and are heavily-favored in this one.

Patrick Mahomes will be licking his chops against the young secondary of the Raiders.  Despite adding some speed and explosion with Henry Ruggs, Bryan Edwards, and Lynn Bowden the Raiders are still not in the Chiefs class offensively.

Week 7: Buccaneers (-3) @ Raiders

The Bucs are absolutely loaded on offense with the additions of Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski, and they should be a playoff team in 2020.  How quickly Brady and his new receivers can mesh will be a huge question for the Bucs offense this season.

Expect Derek Carr to play with some extra motivation in this one, as Tom Brady was rumored to be a possible replacement for Carr in the offseason. Tampa Bay won games with Jameis Winston without the eye surgery last year, so Brady could be just what this franchise needs to get over the hump.

Week 8: Raiders @ Browns (-4)

The Raiders end a difficult stretch in Week 7, and in Week 8, things seemingly get a little bit easier. While Las Vegas has to head East to take on the Cleveland Browns, this is a game they should be able to win, even as four-point underdogs.

The Browns badly under-performed last season with a very talented roster.  With a new coaching staff in Cleveland the expectations are high once again.  Will the Browns finally figure it out?  I need to believe it to see it, I think this is a road game the Raiders can steal.

Week 9: Raiders @ Chargers (-3.5)

A road game on the schedule, Los Angeles is the Raiders home away from home, so they should have no problems against the Chargers in this one.  If fans are allowed in stadiums expect a very pro Raiders crowd, just as we saw last season.

The quarterback is a big question mark for the Chargers.  Justin Herbert was selected sixth overall in the draft but Tyrod Taylor is expected to be the starter.  The Chargers defense has the talent to be one of the best in the league, and being a divisional matchup, this is going to be an exciting one.
