Predicting the Las Vegas Raiders 2021 season game-by-game
Week 9 at New York Giants
As a west coast team, it is never an easy task to go on the road and play teams on the east coast, but the Raiders get some luck here in 2021. Despite the fact they need to travel to New Jersey to take on the New York Giants, the Raiders get to do it after the bye week, and that will lead to an easy win against Daniel Jones and company.
The New York Giants are definitely not a pushover this upcoming season, as the franchise has done everything in its power to give Jones the weapons he needs to succeed. They have a great running back, some tremendous wide receivers, and their defense was way better than advertised last season.
Despite all of this, the Raiders go east and pick up a rare victory, defeating Jones and company with a late touchdown. That will send the Metlife fans home on a sour note, but for a Raiders fan who grew up in New York, this is going to be a sweet victory.
Prediction: Raiders 31, Giants 24
