The Las Vegas Raiders take on the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1, and here are three players expected to make a major impact in the game.

Several factors will have to play out for the Las Vegas Raiders to get a victory over Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens come into this game as one of the favorites to not only make it to the playoffs, but some believe they could end up being a Super Bowl contender when all is said and done.

However, the Raiders have the advantage of playing at home in front of what should be a raucous Las Vegas crowd. Last season, their first in Las Vegas, the Raiders were not allowed to have fans in the stands, and it is a good thing too, as they finished with a 2-6 record inside Allegiant Stadium.

On Monday night, under the bright lights in primetime, the Raiders will get an opportunity to show that their new-look defense can make plays against an elite quarterback in Jackson. To come away victorious, they will need to be sharp on both sides of the ball, and here we take a look at some players that will have a major impact on either team.

Let’s take a look at three players to watch in this key Week 1 game for the Baltimore Ravens vs the Las Vegas Raiders.
