While this game may feel inconsequential on the surface, it does possess serious implications on the future of the Las Vegas Raiders.
On Sunday, the Raiders bring the 2025 season to a close when they face the Kansas City Chiefs at Allegiant Stadium.
Should the Raiders lose this contest, they will clinch the first overall pick in April’s draft. From there, the debate will circle around Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza and Oregon’s Dante Moore, making Friday’s Peach Bowl between the two quarterbacks must-watch television. However, the Raiders have one more game to get through, and they will want to play hard to cement their own futures in the NFL.
