With the 2021 preseason kicking off tonight against Seattle, we look at three bold predictions for the Raiders for Game No. 1.
It is officially time for the Las Vegas Raiders to put their game uniforms on and battle it out against another franchise, even if it is only the preseason. To make things even more interesting, fans will be inside Allegiant Stadium for the first time ever for a preseason, or regular-season game, so you can expect an electric atmosphere inside the building.
With that said, let us look at 3 bold predictions for the Raiders against Seattle Saturday night.
Las Vegas Raiders: 3 bold predictions for 2021 preseason Game No. 1
Nathan Peterman throws and runs in a score
With both Derek Carr and Marcus Mariota expected to sit this one out, it is going to be a large dose of Nathan Peterman for Raider Nation on Saturday night inside Allegiant Stadium. For Peterman, he is looking to continue to latch on as the team’s No. 3 quarterback and was given a new contract this offseason to do so.
Peterman has had his success during the preseason, and I believe that will continue tonight against the Seahawks. In fact, I like Peterman to not only find the end zone through the air, hitting one of the Raiders’ talented wideouts, but I also believe Gruden will diagram a play to get him in the end zone with his feet as well.
