Indianapolis Colts at Las Vegas Raiders: 3 bold predictions in Week 14

The Las Vegas Raiders play host to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 14 with both teams fighting for a Wild Card spot. Here are 3 bold predictions.

If there was ever a week for the Las Vegas Raiders to put together a complete game, this is the week. The Raiders are a team that controls their destiny as far as the playoffs are concerned, and while they have some excellent wins on their resume this year, including against the New Orleans Saints and Kansas City Chiefs, they have not looked great the past two weeks.

During that time, they were blown out by an Atlanta Falcons team that was missing Julio Jones and needed a miracle against the winless New York Jets. With four games left in the season, including two against teams ahead of them in the Wild Card race, the time has come for the Raiders to fix their issues, and finish strong.

As the Colts fan of this site, I grew up going to Raiders games with my mom and really enjoyed the experience. I became a Colts fan because of Peyton Manning and playing football as a kid. The Raiders and Colts are dear to my heart, but whenever they play, I’ll always root for the Colts since that’s where my heart lies, even though I still love Derek Carr and the Raiders organization.

With that out of the way, I thought about the best-case scenario for the Raiders this week, and I wanted to put my thoughts down since I know both of these teams like the back of my hand and know the matchups each player has as well as the strengths and weaknesses of said matchups.

Here are three bold predictions for the Raiders this week.
