In a matchup of two-win teams, the Las Vegas Raiders head to the Sunshine State to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9.

On Sunday, the Las Vegas Raiders will look to shake off the terrible loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 8 by taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9. For the Silver and Black, this has not been the way many expected in the first season with Josh McDaniels as head coach, as Raider Nation is already calling for his job.

McDaniels has not been the only reason for the struggles, as the defense has been bad, the offensive line is still gelling, and the team is getting some subpar play from Derek Carr. Last weekend, Carr threw for only 101 yards and failed to bring the Raiders past the 50-yard line, a concerning effort for sure.

However, Week 9 brings the hope of getting the season back on track, as they take on a Jaguars team who has lost four straight games. While the Jags have been losing, it has not been in blowout fashion, as all of their losses have been by seven or fewer points.

If Las Vegas wants to get its season back on track, it starts in Jacksonville.
