Week 10- Las Vegas Raiders @ Allegiant Stadium

New city, new year, same old bad blood. It is likely that the Denver Broncos are eager to march into Las Vegas and give the rival Raiders a big loss to welcome them to their new city, but it is likely not going to be that easy.

This will be the Broncos’ first time playing in this stadium, and by Week 10, it is likely that the Raiders will have acclimated to their new surroundings. When playing in a brand new stadium, it is impossible to know what to expect. However, the Raider faithful are excited about their new stadium and city and will be there in full force, ready to boo the Broncos as usual.

While the Broncos beat the Raiders in Week 17 in 2019 to secure their second-place divisional finish, like the Broncos, the Raiders also added an arsenal of offensive talent in this year’s draft, headed by the freakishly fast Henry Ruggs III.

Derek Carr will have a new group of guys to throw to, and their offense will likely be better than it was last year.

I highly expect this to be a fun divisional battle.
