Week 10: vs Indianapolis Colts

The Raiders return to Allegiant Stadium in Week 10 after a two-week hiatus on the road, one that brought them a 1-1 record. The big storyline in this game will be the trade of Yannick Ngakoue, who has vowed to come back to Las Vegas and show the Raiders what they lost by sending him to Indianapolis.

The other part of that deal, Rock Ya-Sin, should be well established as a starter for this team by then and will make life difficult for the new Colts starting quarterback, Matt Ryan. Remember, the Raiders got a huge win over this franchise down the stretch last season, so the Colts are going to be hungry for their revenge in this one.

Unfortunately for Frank Reich and his team, that is not going to happen, as the Raiders return to the desert in style, and handle their second AFC South opponent in a row. Indianapolis could certainly be a playoff contender at this point in the season, making this an even more important victory for Las Vegas.

Record: 7-2 overall, 2-1 in AFC West
