The Las Vegas Raiders have a difficult matchup looming against the New England Patriots in Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season. Not only is Mike Vrabel an experienced coach and Drake Maye a rising young quarterback, but New England made several upgrades throughout the roster this offseason.
This will be a great test for the Raiders and all their new pieces, as the team is nearly unrecognizable after just one offseason with general manager John Spytek and head coach Pete Carroll in charge. The hope is that they can start the new era with a tough victory on the East Coast in enemy territory.
