Game Prediction

Going into this season, many expected the Raiders to be a playoff team, and despite the losses early on, they looked like one at times. However, across the past two weeks, it is clear this team is headed towards the top half of the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, so no game is a gimme for them in 2022.

Still, this is a Colts team with an inexperienced head coach, an offensive play caller who has never done it before, and a quarterback who should struggle, so it is not crazy to predict a Raiders win on Sunday. Las Vegas has the talent on offense, even with Darren Waller and Hunter Renfrow out, to put up points against a Colts defense that has its issues as well.

We keep saying that this could be the week the Raiders break out, and I believe that it is. This is a perfect storm for this team to get right in front of the home crowd, and going down the stretch, see how the rest of the season plays out.

Final Score: Raiders 28, Colts 17
