Handicapping a Raiders’ Week 1 primetime Las Vegas debut

On Tuesday, we looked at the Raiders’ schedule as the NFL announced that the 2020 season schedule will be released no later than May 9.

That got me thinking — who will the Raiders play in the first game in Las Vegas? There has been reports that they may play a Week 1 primetime game in their new home.

Let’s go with that premise, with it either being a Sunday night game or one of the two games on opening Monday night. The Raiders have often been part of the Monday night doubleheader over the years, including having home games in the past two seasons.
