Week 8: at New Orleans Saints

The Las Vegas Raiders will hit the road in Week 8, playing away from Allegiant Stadium for the first time in 20 days. Like they did on the road against Kansas City, the Silver and Black come out on the losing end in this one, as the trip to the Bayou does not end in their favor.

This has the potential to be a real shootout between Carr and Winston, two players who have the arm talent to rack up yards in bunches. New Orleans is a team that should be up-and-down this upcoming season, their first without Sean Payton at the helm in quite some time, and the new head coach, Dennis Allen, gets his Raiders revenge in this one.

Playing in that 10:00AM slot, the Raiders falter in this one, as Winston has enough firepower to crack the defense late in the game. Las Vegas has had success in New Orleans, so this one could go either way, but in the end, the Saints take care of business at home.

Record: 5-2 overall, 2-1 in AFC West
