It’s time for our weekly Saturday tradition as we pick winner of every Raiders’ game.
It’s 2-0 in this space, predicting the Raiders first two games.
This week is tough.
Yes, the Raiders were pretty bad (especially on offense) in a 20-9 Week 2 home loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. But Washington’s star quarterback Jayden Daniels is out with a knee injury. Former Raiders backup Marcus Mariota will quarterback against his former team. It’s his first start in three years.
The Commanders have some other injuries on both sides of the ball.
I do expect the Raiders to be better this week on offense and I think it will be close.
And I’m taking the road team (in our picks contest, I took Washington but that was before Daniels was ruled out).
Raiders 17, Commanders 16.
Now, it’s your turn.
In other Raiders’ news:
- O-line talk: PFF ranks the offensive-line play.
- Trade talk: Could the Raiders pull off a trade for A.J. Brown?
- Stafford over Geno? Our friends at Turf Show Times think the Raiders traded for the wrong NFC West quarterback.
