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

Raiders pressure against Jalen Hurts

Last weekend was an incredible effort from this Raiders defense, as they continuously got pressure on Teddy Bridgewater, racking up a ton of sacks, and forcing some interceptions. That was kind of a shocking occurrence, but in Week 7, they will be going up against a quarterback with a lot less experience than Bridgewater, as well as an offensive line they can certainly beat.

Maxx Crosby is becoming one of the best, if not the best, edge rushers in all of football, and that is saying a lot. The addition of a true edge rusher on the other side of the line has worked wonders for him in terms of his development, as Yannick Ngakoue is a player who can get after the quarterback at any time as well.

Also, Carl Nassib has done a tremendous job this season, giving the Raiders a three-headed monster coming off the edge for the Silver and Black. On Sunday, that trio is going to make life very difficult for Jalen Hurts, who is going into enemy territory, and could be running for his life all game long.
