The Raiders were the last team in the league that year to win a game, finally doing so the next week against their division rival, the Kansas City Chiefs, but they were crushed 52–0 by the Rams the next week. The Raiders did manage to defeat their geographic rival, the San Francisco 49ers, and defeated Buffalo in Week 16, which mathematically.

For the second time in three weeks, the Los Angeles Rams will square off with Jon Gruden’s Oakland Raiders. Only this time, the game will count towards each team’s 2018 record, unlike their preseason meeting last month.

With Khalil Mack officially in Chicago, the Raiders will be without their best player – a big break for the Rams in this one. However, despite looking like a significantly better, the Rams aren’t even touchdown favorites in Week 1.
