The NFL has released its 2017 regular-season schedule. Here’s a look at what’s in store for the Oakland Raiders.
Breakdown: The Raiders, for the second year in a row, will begin and end their season by playing three of four on the road. They will also again play host to an international affair in Mexico City, this time against the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots, and have plans on staying at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., presumably between roadies at the Buffalo Bills (Oct. 29) and Miami Dolphins (Nov. 5). Oh, and the Raiders also have the fourth-toughest strength of schedule in the NFL.
