The Las Vegas Raiders endured a disappointing 2020 NFL season as they missed the playoffs yet again, collapsing in the second half of the season.
The year for the Raiders had gotten off to a promising start as they were 6-3 at one point. Unfortunately, the year was marred by a 2-5 finished that resulted in an 8-8 record.
Las Vegas is now looking to turn the page and get a fresh start going into the offseason. They now have an idea of who their opponents for the 2021 NFL season will be:
Home Opponents
Denver Broncos
Kansas City Chiefs
Los Angeles Chargers
Baltimore Ravens
Cincinnati Bengals
Miami Dolphins
Philadelphia Eagles
Washington Football TeamAway Opponents
Denver Broncos
Kansas City Chiefs
Los Angeles Chargers
Cleveland Browns
Dallas Cowboys
Indianapolis Colts
New York Giants
Pittsburgh Steelers
The Raiders ushered in a new era at Allegiant Stadium following their relocation in the offseason. While they were not able to have any fans over to help break the new venue in, it is still set to play host to some high-profile matchups.
Their home slate is highlighted by matchups versus a couple of AFC North opponents in the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals. They will also be welcoming the NFC East to town when they square off against the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Football Team.
The Raiders will be paying a visit to the rest of the AFC North when they take on the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys and new-look Indianapolis Colts will also come to town.
Of course, the biggest challenge will be for Las Vegas to establish dominance in the AFC West again after going 4-2 versus divisional opponents this year. Although the Kansas City Chiefs are expected to remain elite, the Los Angeles Chargers and Denver Broncos are set to come out of their rebuilding phase.
