The Las Vegas Raiders have some big questions left to answer as they head into their Week 1 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.

Week 1 of the 2021 NFL season is right around the corner, and the Las Vegas Raiders are preparing themselves for the Baltimore Ravens in a Monday Night Football clash. The Ravens go into the 2021 season once again as one of the best teams in the NFL, but they have their issues like every other team as the new year kicks off.

Plenty of question marks are present in the clash, including whether or not the Ravens will field a competent offense with the number of injuries they have on offense. Las Vegas has their own injuries, as well as a bunch of new starters on both sides of the ball, including upfront on offense and defense.

Both teams are looking to get off to a fast start in the season opener, and with so much uncertainty, predicting a winner in this one is truly up in the air. Sure, Baltimore is the favorite, and most media types will have them winning this one easily, but the Raiders are a team that could be surprisingly good in 2021.

Let’s take a look at some questions that should be answered heading into Week 1.
