Las Vegas Raiders X-Factors against the New York Jets in Week 13
By Brad Weiss
The Las Vegas Raiders have some star power out against the New York Jets, but they have enough talent to come away with the victory in Week 13.
In a game they should win easily, the Las Vegas Raiders will travel East to take on the 0-11 New York Jets Sunday inside Metlife Stadium. The Jets are an absolute laughingstock of a team, have a terrible head coach, and very little weapons on both sides of the ball, but we have been down this road before playing this franchise.
Las Vegas has some key players out, and the next-man-up mentality will be in full effect once again this week. With that said, here are the X-factors for the Raiders in Week 13 against the New York Jets.
Cornerback Damon Arnette
The secondary for the Raiders will be without their Alpha on Sunday, as Johnathan Abram did not make the trip East and is out for the Jets game. That means someone is going to have to step up, and while the loss of Abram is a big one, two other members of the secondary also are questionable to go.
Cornerbacks Trayvon Mullen and Isaiah Johnson did not practice on Friday, which came as a bit of a shock. If one, or two of them, cannot go, that means Damon Arnette, the rookie from Ohio State will draw the CB1 role, and that is certainly something to keep an eye on.
