The Raiders Get Off To A Good Start With A Big Win
Finally, and most importantly, the Raiders need to get off to a quick start and will do just that with a win over the Panthers. Las Vegas is entering a new era of football in a new city with a young roster and building confidence early in the year will be key.
Derek Carr will put together a solid performance and the defense will turn some heads. The Raiders have re-built their roster in the right way. They have built patiently through the draft with big talent and a lot of hard workers.
Gruden is the kind of coach that gets the most out of his players. He puts players in the best position to succeed.
That will show in Week 1 with a 28-17 win over the Panthers. Las Vegas may not end up being serious contenders, but they are on their way. The Raiders need to be taken seriously this season.
