Predicting the rest of the Las Vegas Raiders 2022 schedule

Week 14: Las Vegas Raiders @ L.A. Rams

The defending Super Bowl champions welcome the Raiders to their unofficial second home in the City of Angels. Assuming Nate Hobbs is 100 percent by then, the matchup that the NFL is likely going to be hyping up will be between him and Cooper Kupp.

With Anthon Averett and Rock Ya-Sin handling duties on the outside, all eyes will be on Hobbs. In the end, the Raiders’ defense will make Matthew Stafford uncomfortable all game long as the Silver and Black finally get over the hump to 7-6.

Prediction: Win

Record: 7-6, 2-3 AFC West

Week 15: New England Patriots vs. Las Vegas Raiders

Coming off a three-game win streak, the Raiders and McDaniels will welcome Bill Belichick and the Patriots. I’ll keep this one short and simple. This is a classic master versus pupil matchup. Belichick’s defense will get the better of McDaniels in this one.

The Raiders head coach isn’t quite there yet in terms of defeating his old teacher. Back to reality for the Silver and Black.

Prediction: Loss

Record: 7-7, 2-3 AFC West
