The Las Vegas Raiders were solid on the offensive side of the ball in 2020, and in 2021, they could take their game to the next level.

The Las Vegas Raiders finished the 2020 NFL season with an 8-8 record, a one-win improvement over the previous season. The problem with that is, they had an offense that should have certainly led them to the playoffs, had it not been for how bad the team played on the other side of the ball.

Las Vegas has made improvements on defense this offseason, the biggest being a new defensive coordinator, as Paul Guenther was a terrible fit in the Silver and Black. With Gus Bradley at the helm, you have to think there is going to be a steady improvement on the defense, and that bodes well for the team’s playoff chances.

The fact is, they have enough talent on offense to put up points in bunches, and will be expected to do so as the defense gets their feet wet together early in 2021. They have elite players at certain positions, and a revamped offensive line, so finding the end zone early and often should not be a problem this upcoming season.

Here are three bold predictions for the offensive in 2021.
