The Las Vegas Raiders need to bounce back in Week 4 against the Buffalo Bills, and here are three x-factors that will help them do just that.

The weeks seem to be flying by in the NFL this season, as the Las Vegas Raiders enter Week 4 of their new campaign. The Raiders have a very tough matchup in the Buffalo Bills this week, but like in any sport on any given day, the odds of victory are never impossible.

Although quarterback Josh Allen and company have led the Bills to an undefeated season thus far, they are far from perfect. Two of their wins have been in dramatic close fashion, and Allen, despite all of his exciting plays is also very prone to mistakes.

With that being said let’s discuss the X-factors for the Las Vegas Raiders in Week four.

Home Field Advantage

Yes, home-field advantage may honestly not be what it was before. There are no fans allowed, the only noise is generic fake-fan noise over a PA system, but so far the Raiders looked incredible in their one home game this season vs the heavy favorite in that game, the New Orleans Saints.

Sure, it is only one game to judge, but Derek Carr looked very comfortable in their new home in Vegas. This could be a deciding factor in what could be a close game, although the Bills are getting their fair share of favoritism heading into this game, let’s not forget the Raiders have slayed one giant at home already this season.
