Las Vegas Raiders must be wary of New York Giants ground game

The fight for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft this Sunday inside Allegiant Stadium is likely going to be a slugfest in the trenches.

Las Vegas Raiders-New York Giants predictions

It’s that time of the week, our weekly tradiiton of predicting the Las Vegas Raiders’ game. The Raiders are 2-13, while I’m 13-2 predicting Raiders games.

Making Ashton Jeanty focal point key in Week 17

As a Brock Bowers truther, writing “the offense must flow through Bowers” was excellent source material. After all, the tight end is the Las Vegas Raiders best pass-catching option and the Georgia product runs routes and gets separation like a wide receiver even at his size at 6-foot-4 and 235 pounds. The 23-year-old paces the […]

Las Vegas Raiders are in tight chase for top pick

2026 Las Vegas Raiders Mock Draft

Are the New York Giants tanking?

Considering the Las Vegas Raiders have already lost to the Tennessee Titans and the Cleveland Browns this season, one could argue that those were the Divisional and Conference Championship rounds for the No. 1 overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft. And now that the two worst teams in the NFL, the Raiders and the […]

What will be the head-coaching hiring competition?

There are a lot of reasons why the Las Vegas Raiders should, and, very well, will fire coach Pete Carroll after just one awful season. But a primary reason why the Raiders should dump Carroll and reset, once again, is a relative lack of competition for the top head-coaching candidates when the hiring cycle begins […]

Ending in a tie? That’d be a fitting Week 17 result for Las Vegas Raiders

With both the host Las Vegas Raiders and visiting New York Giants entering their Week 17 matchup riding nine-game losing skids, conventional wisdom says one of those teams will snap its horrendous streak. Both teams are 2-13 on the year, haven’t won a game since early October, have gone through coaching staff upheaval, and are […]

Eric Stokes stands strong against Nico Collins, Houston Texans

Free-agent signing Eric Stokes has been one of the few pleasant surprises for the Las Vegas Raiders this season, and his performance in Week 16 against the Houston Texans was another solid outing. Stokes was targeted six times and only surrendered two completions, for 13 yards, no first downs and a passer rating of 42.4, […]

Las Vegas Raiders Expectation: Brodric Martin

The Raiders claimed DT Brodric Martin off waivers on Thursday, and the former Detroit Lions third rounder now heads to Las Vegas where in year three he’s only logged 63 career snaps. Martin stands at an impressive 6’5, 330 and plays, as expected, your traditional 0/1 tech as a true nose tackle. Originally a consensus […]

Las Vegas Raiders DC Patrick Graham doesn’t need to return in 2026

There has been incredible turnover for the Las Vegas Raiders’ coaching staff in recent years. Patrick Graham, however, has been a constant. Graham has been the Raiders’ defensive coordinator since 2022 when he joined new head coach Josh McDaniels’ staff as a highly-touted hire. Graham was then retained by new head coach Antonio Pierce in […]
