Predicting the Las Vegas Raiders 2021 season game-by-game
Week 13 vs. Washington Football Team
Heading home after losing to an NFC East team, the Raiders will now play host to an NFC East team, welcoming in the Washington Football Team. Loaded with an outstanding defense, the WFT should be one of the better teams in the NFC East this upcoming season, but we will see if Ryan Fitzpatrick still has magic this late in the season.
For the Raiders to win this game, they are going to have to put up points against this tough WFT defense, and I believe they will. At this point, the talk will all be about whether or not Carr can get this team to the playoffs, and in front of the home crowd, he has a statement game.
Las Vegas will win their seventh game in this one, moving to a 7-5 record on the season, and setting the stage for what could be the most important five-game stretch of Carr’s career. The Raiders will once again be in striking distance of a playoff berth, but can they finally get it done?
Prediction: Raiders 33, Washington Football Team 28
