Predicting the Las Vegas Raiders 2021 season game-by-game
Week 15 at Cleveland Browns
The Las Vegas Raiders will hit the road once again in Week 15, this time going back east to take on the Cleveland Browns. Heading into next season, the Browns figure to be one of the better teams in the AFC, and unless they have the AFC North already wrapped up, which is not going to be the case, this going to be a dogfight.
Las Vegas was able to go on the road and beat the Browns last season, one of the better wins of their 2020 slate. However, Baker Mayfield and company have a much better roster than they had a year ago, a year that saw them go to the Divisional Round, so this is going to be a tough hill to climb for the Raiders.
With this loss, the Raiders see themselves back at the .500 mark and are starting to also see their playoff hopes disappear. To punch their ticket to the postseason, they are going to have to string together three wins to close out the 2021 campaign.
Prediction: Browns 21, Raiders 18
