The Las Vegas Raiders are 2-14 heading into Week 18 and in line for the number one pick. It has been a disastrous season for a team that expected to compete in year one with Pete Carroll. Instead, it has been an ugly result after a nasty result, week to week.

This has led to speculation that it could be a one-and-done season for the former Super Bowl-winning head coach. There have been rumors of the Raiders already searching for a new head coach before the year ended. On Saturday, the reports started coming in that it is most likely...

The Las Vegas Raiders are about to embark on their final game of the season, with the fanbase not looking for a victory. The Raiders are in line for the number one pick in the draft, and they have a chance to secure it with a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

Then we look to the offseason, and the team has to decide what to do with the coaching staff. The front office will help make the decision on the head coach and allow Spytek to select his own coach to team up with to rebuild the...

The worst team scoring points hosting the sixth stingiest defense in the league to close out the 2025 season.

That’s the tale of the tape for the Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs Week 18 matchup this Sunday inside Allegiant Stadium.

At an average of 14.2 points per game and 227 total, Las Vegas is the caboose amongst NFL offenses. The team is behind the Cleveland Browns (259) and Tennessee Titans (277) in total points scored. Here’s something even more staggering in comparison: The Los Angeles Rams are the league’s top scoring offense with 481 total points. That’s 254-point...

We did it y’all, we made it through the 2025 Las Vegas Raiders season!

Well, I guess we have one more game to get through with the Week 18 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. But it seems like none of you care about that—and rightfully so, since it’s basically a preseason game—which means we’re continuing to focus on the offseason and 2026 NFL draft in this week’s mailbag column. Let’s get to it!

Q: No matter if there’s a coaching change or not, will Maxx Crosby be moved from the Raiders?

A: I’ve made my stance known...

Let’s be honest, there aren’t many reasons to tune into the Week 18 matchup between the Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs. The game has a preseason vibe to it, with the Chiefs starting third-string quarterback Chris Oladokun and the Raiders expected to split the reps behind center between Kenny Pickett and Aidan O’Connell. On that note, the season finale is an opportunity for Las Vegas’ 2025 NFL draft class to finish strong heading into the offseason.

For Ashton Jeanty, this year has certainly been disappointing, as he hasn’t had much breathing room while running behind a bad offensive...

It’s time for our weekly Saturday tradition of picking Las Vegas Raiders and, yes, it’s the final time this season as it ends Sunday.

It’s been a rough year for the Silver and Black as they sit 2-14. I’m 13-3 in picking their games.

Yes, I thought the Raiders would win against the equally lowly New York Giants. yet, it ended up being another Raiders’ blowout defeat.

With that in mind, I can’t justify picking the Raiders, who have lost 10 straight games. Yes, the Kansas City Chiefs look like a preseason roster now.

Still, the Raiders are worse.

Prediction:...

There was a time where, when everything else was falling apart or coming up short, special teams remained stout for the Silver & Black.

Not under under Pete Carroll’s watch in 2025.

This rendition of the Las Vegas Raiders is bad in all three phases of the game — a feat that many other head coaches couldn’t attain. From the coverage units to the individual performances of kicker Daniel Carlson and punter AJ Cole III, Las Vegas’ special teams group has rolled snake eyes this season.

The downward trend resulted in Tom McMahon getting the boot as special teams coordinator...

The Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs have nothing to play for and both teams are expected to start backup quarterbacks in Week 18. So, instead of highlighting key matchups for the Raiders, this week’s game preview focuses on five young players who should get more playing time in the season finale.

In full disclosure, rookies Caleb Rogers, Tonka Hemingway and JJ Pegues were not included because they’ve been getting regular playing time over the last month.

It was understandable why Grant didn’t play in the first half and maybe even the first three months of...

The Raiders signed Malcolm Koonce to a 1 year, 11 million extension this off-season which tied him to Las Vegs till the end of the 2025 season. Koonce, just 27 years old was coming off a torn ACL in 2024 that prevented him from recording a snap the entire season. In 2023, Koonce showed the expectations could be existent for him logging 52 pressures, 8 sacks, 9 TFL, and 7 QB hits. This season, Koonce has struggled at times especially early in the season logging just 17 pressure through the first 9 games and just one sack. Koonce, recovering from...
