The Las Vegas Raiders begin the 2025 NFL season on the road against the New England Patriots. This Week 1 matchup on the East Coast against an ascending team will certainly be a good measuring stick for new head coach Pete Carroll's squad.
While the Raiders' pass-catching group is a bit unproven, they have an opportunity to start off the campaign on the right foot against a depleted Patriots secondary. That's not the only key advantage Las Vegas has, however.
New England's offensive line is questionable, with three underwhelming returners at center and on the right side, and two rookies slated to start on the left side.
