Las Vegas Raiders

Yes, we’re officially calling them the Las Vegas Raiders now. The Chiefs’ most hated division rivals are officially set to move into their new stadium in Sin City for the 2020 NFL season. That alone makes things quite a bit more interesting because Las Vegas is a destination town. Will fans of opposing teams travel well and leave the Raiders with little home-field advantage? The stadium might look like the Death Star, but it must be more welcoming than the Black Hole.

As for the roster, well, there’s no telling what Jon Gruden and Mike Mayock have up their sleeves. They have five selections in the top-100 and they have two within the top-20 of the 2020 NFL Draft. There’s even some speculation that they’ll go after Tom Brady if he were to reach the free-agent market. Will they take a risk and try to make a splash as they take hold of a new and captive audience in Las Vegas? More of the same might be the death knell before they’ve even begun.
