Week 9: at Jacksonville Jaguars
The Raiders may want to stay put in New Orleans after their Week 8 loss, and not risk having to get used to the 10AM time slot again. They will once again play early in Week 9, this time heading to Florida to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars, who should be much-improved with Urban Meyer no longer the head coach.
Jacksonville is hoping for a monster second season from Trevor Lawrence, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft who struggled as a rookie last season. Unfortunately for him, the Raiders will be fired up coming off the loss to the Saints, and be looking to get back in the win column in a big way.
They do just that here, beating the Jaguars on the road, and getting back on the winning track. This one is going to be all Raiders in my opinion, as they beat the Jaguars convincingly, and then head back home for a showdown with another AFC South opponent in the Indianapolis Colts.
Record: 6-2 overall, 2-1 in AFC West
