Season began on Thursday with the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs losing a narrow one to the Detroit Lions. Bulk of the remaining week 1 games take place today, with the best game potentially being the LA Chargers and Miami Dolphins. Both have play - off aspirations and I would expect a good tussle.
Following on from making the post season 2 years ago, the Las Vegas Raiders struggled mightily last year and only mustered 6 wins. There has been a change at Quarterback with long time starter Derek Carr ( now with New Orleans ) being replaced by ex - Niner Jimmy Garoppolo. Star Tight End Darren Waller has also left and starting Running Back " held out " for most of the pre - season, before eventually signing on for another Year.
Despite a strange issue with Chandler Jones, which will keep him out for at least the first game, I do think the Defense will be better this Year and do feel there is another outside chance of a play - off run. Week 1 will tell us a bit more as they travel to Denver in what is a traditional rivalry game against a divisional opponent.
As a fan I have alreay taken the 80's on the Raiders to win the Super Bowl, but do also like the New York Jets at 16's. The afore mentioned Dolphins and Chargers are both available at 22's and would not put anyone off backing either.
