Week 14: at Los Angeles Rams (Thursday Night Football)
Sure, Los Angeles is Raiders country, and even though the Los Angeles Rams won the Super Bowl last season, there should be a sea of Silver and Black in the stands at SoFi Stadium for this one. The Rams will be one of the best teams in the NFL again next season, as they reloaded their roster with talent, and Matthew Stafford could have a day against this Raiders secondary.
The end of the 2022 regular season is going to be a tough one for Las Vegas, and they lose a close one here on the road. Playing in primetime on Thursday Night Football, the Raiders show why they are a legitimate contender in the AFC this season, but the Rams take advantage of a team coming off an emotional victory the week before.
With this loss, the Raiders fall to 9-4 on the season but are still very much in the running for a playoff spot, and a possible AFC West title. The Rams should be a top-2 seed in the NFC this season, and a Super Bowl contender, but the Raiders prove in primetime that they are a team to beat in 2022 as well.
Record: 9-4 overall, 3-2 in AFC West
