The Las Vegas Raiders take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 7, and here are three reasons why the Silver and Black will come away victorious.

The Las Vegas Raiders have one more game before their bye week, as they welcome the Philadelphia Eagles to Allegiant Stadium this Sunday. Las Vegas is coming off a huge victory over division rival Denver in Week 6, as they were able to focus on football, after Jon Gruden’s resignation.

Here, we take a look at why the Raiders will make it two in a row before the bye week.

3 reasons the Raiders will beat the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 7

Derek Carr

When it comes to the game of football, having the better quarterback will go a long way in determining whether or not you win the game. Of course, this is not always the case, as a bad defense can negate a good quarterback in a heartbeat, just ask Derek Carr, as terrible defenses have been a common theme throughout his career.

In 2021, the Raiders not only have a defense playing at a high level, coming off their best game of the season in Week 6, but they also have a Carr playing at an extremely high level as well. He is the better quarterback by a mile when it comes to him and Jalen Hurts, and on Sunday afternoon, I believe that will be a key factor in why the Raiders come away with the victory.
