Las Vegas Raiders vs. Baltimore Ravens: Game preview and prediction in Week 1
Prediction
The Raiders have been known to shock in primetime before, as they did against the New Orleans Saints last season. Las Vegas will be playing in front of a rowdy crowd in Week 1, one that has been waiting to pour into Allegiant Stadium for a full year, so expect the fans to have an impact in this one as well.
Las Vegas got better on defense, there is no doubt there, and their offense was one of the best in the NFL last season. For Carr and company, they need to utilize their run game early, leaning on Josh Jacobs and Kenyan Drake, before opening it up, attacking this Ravens defense with speed on the outside, and a dominant figure at tight end in Darren Waller.
