The Las Vegas Raiders welcome the New Orleans Saints to Allegiant Stadium on Monday Night Football, here are three players to watch in Week 2

Things are about to get crazy in Las Vegas, as the Raiders host their first game at Allegiant Stadium after what seemed like an endless wait since the official announcement. They get a top tier opponent to open the stadium in one of the NFC’s Super Bowl contenders, the New Orleans Saints.

The Saints are coming off another disappointing finish to their season, as they fell short against the Minnesota Vikings in the playoffs, but are ready to put all that behind them and contend yet again. They kicked off the season with a convincing win against a division opponent, as they made Tom Brady and Tampa Bay look exceedingly ordinary.

On the home side of the field, the Raiders are home after a rare victory on the East Coast against the Carolina Panthers and are riding high. This was of course the first win of the Las Vegas era and if they are able to go 2-0, especially against a high level opponent, then the playoff whispers would become shouts.

For that to happen there are a few Raiders that will need to be at their best, and let’s start off with the biggest guy on the field.
