The Las Vegas Raiders have a tough matchup in Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens, but here are three reasons why they will win the game.

We are merely days away from the start of the 2021 NFL regular season, which means goodbye to speculation and debate, and hello to fantasy football madness, games that matter, and the ire of fans across the country. The Las Vegas Raiders have one of the toughest tasks of any team in Week 1, as they take on the Baltimore Ravens.

Not only are they playing the daunting Monday night game, but they are hosting one of the most dynamic players in the league in quarterback Lamar Jackson. Since coming into the league, Jackson has emerged as one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, taking his Ravens to the playoffs yearly, and already bringing home a Most Valuable Player award.

According to WynnBET, the Ravens are the favorites in this clash, but despite this being the case, Las Vegas is not a team to just look past. In fact, the Raiders have several factors that can lead to them to victory, as they have revamped the roster on both sides of the ball this offseason.

I will discuss how not only the Raiders can prevail in this AFC clash, but why they should win this one, moving to 1-0 on the young season.
