Week 4: vs Denver Broncos

In their first divisional home game of the 2022 slate, Las Vegas welcomes in the Denver Broncos, and new quarterback Russell Wilson. For years, the Silver and Black have been able to get right against Drew Lock and this Broncos offense, but Wilson brings this group to a whole new level.

Wilson and the Broncos should enjoy a lot of success this season, especially with all the weapons he will have at his disposal on the offensive side of the ball. However, early in the season, they are still going to be figuring things out, and at home, the Raiders should have the advantage, in what I believe could be a defensive battle.

The Raiders have not gotten out to a 4-0 start since the 2002 NFL season, and that year, they went to the Super Bowl. This Raiders team could navigate this early-season schedule and go into their first matchup with Kansas City unblemished, and I believe they do so with win No. 2 inside Allegiant Stadium.

Record: 4-0 overall, 2-0 in AFC West
