When looking at the Las Vegas Raiders' 2025 NFL season, their Week 8 bye came roughly at the halfway point. They finished 2-5 in the first segment of the year, and they'll have a daunting 10-game stretch as they finish out the back half of their schedule.
With three other teams in the AFC West at 5-3 or better, a playoff run is not likely in the cards for the Silver and Black, even if the conference is still relatively wide open. They just haven't shown enough promise to give Raider Nation any reason to believe that they'll turn things around.
