Las Vegas Raiders: 2021 season game-by-game predictions

Week 17 – vs. Indianapolis Colts: Win

This season, the Colts figure to be in contention for the AFC South title, but Carson Wentz will have to prove he is a capable QB before I believe it. They handled the Raiders in Week 14 of last season, but with less consistency at quarterback, Las Vegas gets some payback.

Wentz was thought of as the franchise for the Philadelphia Eagles, but after being traded to the Colts, he may be in a better situation for his career moving forward. Indianapolis was a playoff team with Philip Rivers at quarterback last season, and they could be an even better team on paper heading into 2021.

With a 9-7 record heading into the final week of the season, everything will come down to a division matchup with the Chargers. Will the Raiders finally get over the hump, and possibly lock up a playoff spot? Only time will tell.

Record: 9-7
