The Las Vegas Raiders finished last season with a record of 8-9 and showed promise under interim coach Antonio Pierce with a 5-4 record. Pierce is now the full-time coach, tasked with dispelling doubts that the Raiders will struggle this season. The team will rely on quarterback Gardner Minshew and rookie tight end Brock Bowers on offense, anchored by a strong running game led by Zamir White. The defense, with standouts Maxx Crosby and Christian Wilkins, is expected to keep the team competitive.

New additions to the Raiders include offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, Gardner Minshew, Brock Bowers, and Christian Wilkins. However, the team has also said goodbye to key players like Josh Jacobs and Hunter Renfrow. The Raiders boast a formidable defensive line led by Crosby and Wilkins, providing a solid foundation for the team.

The biggest question mark for the Raiders heading into the season is the quarterback position, with Minshew and Aidan O’Connell vying for the starting role. The team will need consistent quarterback play to succeed, or they might be looking for a new QB in the future. The Raiders also saw positional battles during training camp, with players like Jakorian Bennett and Tre Tucker stepping up.

Davante Adams is one to watch for fantasy football enthusiasts, but questions remain about his production given his age and the uncertainties at quarterback. The BetMGM Sportsbook puts the Raiders at 100-1 odds to win the Super Bowl, with an over/under of 6 1/2 wins for the season. The team faces a tough road ahead but has the potential to surprise critics.
