Ahead of Week 17, Las Vegas Raiders fans were nervous that the team would squeak out a meaningless win against the 2-13 New York Giants and ruin their high draft position. Of course, they lost in embarrassing fashion, keeping their hopes alive, but they're not out of the woods yet.
It will take another loss in Week 18 against the Kansas City Chiefs to clinch things. If Las Vegas wins in the season finale, it would take a miracle to still land at the top of the draft board. The Raiders cannot afford to misstep and pull out a victory.
