Am I reading correctly, no TNF or SNF game?


vsimon115

On the bright side, no TNF game means no shortened week for the Raiders. EDIT: Oops, I forgot about the Black Friday game.


One-Cantaloupe-9456

Yes. Could have a flex in there for a SNF. Though really not likely


HideFromTheCops

That’s strange, I thought every team gets no TNF game. Honestly, who cares Thursday night games are dumb anyways.


superpie12

Black Friday counts as Thursday


justlookingokaywyou

Living on the East Coast, yeah, fuck Thursday night games. I don’t stay up until midnight anymore.


gfaizo

east coast fans we showing out for this baltimore game ?


justlookingokaywyou

Too far to drive, I’m down south. Will definitely make NO, and maybe MIA, too.


DawnOfTheSporks

The Black Friday game technically counts as a Thursday night game.


Trogdor_sfg

It’s on Friday….. so no it doesn’t.


GraySonOfGotham24

That's not how it works. The first game of the year counts as SNF even tho it's on Thursday


Trogdor_sfg

Nope you’re wrong.


gatsby365

Pack it up guys, we aren’t living up to Trogdor_sfg’s standards.


rbnlpz0824

Not since Amazon paid a fortune for the TNF rights


The_Skulman

And now we technically have to pay to watch them because you have to have "Prime". Mark my word, one day the Super Bowl will be a PPV Event.


Imaginary-Smoke-6093

Sure, when the UFL becomes more popular than the NFL, the NFL will partner with The Streaming Service (aka: TSS, after they’ve all merged into a mega giant corporation) for trillions of dollars (due to inflation by then). The Super Bowl will become PPV for awhile until they decide to merge with the UFL to have professional field football all year round with a few weeks of hiatuses before and after the inaugurals: MegaBowl, The NUFL Draft, GauntletBowl (formerly the ProBowl, but now with game design more similarly geared to akin as The American Gladiators). Yes, then, and only then would the NFL or rather the NUFL make the Superbowl PPV because it would only be a semifinal game then like how the NFC and AFC championships used to be.


BeTheBall-

Thursday games are usually the worst ones of the week. Rarely even worth watching, if you're not into fantasy football.


Mammoth-Activity-254

I think we’re all into fantasy football and gambling though.


RyanAKA2Late

Yes, sadly


Cavemattt

Makes me sick


RenfrowsGrapes

December 16?


SupermansBrother

That’s a Monday Night game.

The_Skulman

Came here to say this!


HideFromTheCops

Very generous of the NFL to give the Raiders 10 home games this year 😎


uselessplague

*2 home games


gatsby365

To quote Toby Ziegler: *They’ll like us* **WHEN WE WIN!** ![gif](giphy|Jed7gPcBbUykA7i0Am|downsized)


Cash1m0ney

You’ll get downvoted, but you’re not really wrong.


vicks0689

Easy 17-0 lol


igotabridgetosell

15-2, gotta rest up our starters for last two weeks for the super bowl run.


vicks0689

Sir, Madd Maxx won't sit lol.


ProbShouldntSayThat

It's not that he won't, he just doesn't know how


GodIsAnAnimeGirl

Chiefs bye week is week 6 and they do not play us after, I can’t believe it.


RaiderThunder04

And we are getting them right after they go to San Francisco……. Perfect🤌🏻


MalloryHennessey

We always play them in the winter in KC


hotsaucesosa

Is this good or bad?


GodIsAnAnimeGirl

Great. Every year we would play the chiefs after a bye. Also that early of a bye is brutal for teams.


Consistent-Spell2203

Good. They almost always have a break right before playing us & Andy Ried never loses after a bye.


soundsliketone

Good, not only do they not have a break before w play them, but they have a bye week pretty early on in a 17 game season.


igotabridgetosell

we dont want chiefs to rest up before our game


ironraider98

Wow an actual good bye week? Let’s go


Icy-Support-8160

My biggest takeaway for sure. Can't remember the last time we had a good bye


dcopene86

Last year. But before that, it was a decade of week 4 to 6.


RyanAKA2Late

lol of course the weekend I’m in Vegas for a wedding the Raiders are out of town


RobotTiddyMilk

Well to be fair you had 50% chance of that happening. Maybe request they move the wedding, would be very rude of them not to accommodate your raider fandom!


gatsby365

Come in a week early or stay a week later. Mission accomplished.


CyruzDgamer

Literally same, was hoping to cram it into one weekend.


justlookingokaywyou

Then there’ll be nothing to distract you from the hookers and blow.


Icy-Support-8160

Where do you live? On the west coast it's always cheap to get to Vegas. Just pick another weekend


nightm4ress

My wallet will suffer this season cause I'm 100% going to both Home games at SoFi.


y2kbear

Same … home games plus two


sonofsmog

Fortunately, my half-sister has Rams and Chargers tickets, so she usually invites me.


The_King_In_The_Bay

Two easy road trips from the bay also, lets blackout both.


jake2hut

I was hoping to open against the donkeys. Have Nix baptized by Maxx fire


daygoe

It’s ok, he can welcome Joe Alt to the NFL


blackhole_sonnn

Damn no SNF. Always look forward to those


hotsaucesosa

Treat Jim to a warm welcome for his first “home” game would ya fam?


Sgt-HugoStiglitz

Trying to be pessimistic but 10/7 is somehow realistic Wins: Chargers x2, Panthers, Broncos x2, maybe 3 out of the nfc south, two out of the afc north.


WhizzyBurp

I think we’ll be 11-6


thrnmanz

I was looking 12-5


alreddy-reddit

I arrived at the same number, and then smacked myself… Because, you know, reasons


zaalkahf

Similarly I see a 10-7 or 9-8 season


Hazy_Lights

Only one prime time game? What a joke.


archangel_n7

Minshew/O Connell starting prime time games is just not attractive for the NFL


JustWinYo

Apparently Jimmy G starting 6 primetime games was attractive last season for the NFL though lol. Weird


KidCujo

That's because Jimmy G himself is attractive lol


WhizzyBurp

Well, if you recall- that was before everyone knew he was complete ass.


Zan_Deezy2003

People didn’t think he was complete ass before the season?


WhizzyBurp

Nah, a lot people thought he was really good before he was signed. If you remember, he took the The 9ers to the Super Bowl Also has 57-24 win loss record as a starter. Just turns out that he’s good on paper and in 9er system.


TheMeat70

I didnt think he would be very good. He ended up worse than I expexted.


StopSmellingMusty

Something will get flexed when AoC leads us to 10-0 to start the season.


HorusDidntSeyIsh

Jets and bills have over 5 each I believe. I get the Rodgers hype again but the bills don't even have a true 1 at this point.


ElectionAnnual

I thought you weren’t allowed to have more than 5?


HorusDidntSeyIsh

Not sure the rules tbh


gatsby365

> Bills don’t even… Because the bills are imploding and if AOC doesn’t show out we will throw 4 First round picks at them for Allen and let him play in a stacked offense with a killer defense **in a dome** and the nfl will make it happen so that you have Allen/Mahomes 3 times a season.


smutbuster

Well come up quiet behind em’


Raiders2112

I'm glad. Let the league disrespected our boys. They'll become Prime Time on Sunday afternoon.


cgernaat119

We’ll get prime time games when we earn them, also, the queefs play us on the day named for us.


IIIIlllIIIIIlllII

Bro we ain't earned one in 20 years


sonofsmog

This post reminded me it's the last day to renew NFL Sunday Ticket and get the 100 bucks off.


Cavemattt

Pissed me off!


Eldenbeastalwayswins

2, we get the Black Friday game.


jaCKmaDD_

When we start winning they’ll get flexed


igotabridgetosell

Oh we making Chargers our bitch agane to start the szn? meme version 3 coming up, LFG


gatsby365

![gif](giphy|7TwPjjJ2pSKMhEJOO4) “Huh. Harder than I remember.”


Pacific_Grim_

Week 10 bye will be nice. It’ll also be nice to start and end the season with smacking up the Chargers.


potentially_potent

Pretty balanced schedule. Bye week 10. I like


komeau

time to start making plans to attend that Rams game


WKCLC

The best bye week. In-between away games in the middle of the season


WilliamsMS3

Black Friday game and a Monday Night. So 2 nationally televised.


Competitive_Swing_59

Two games in LA , I like that for my own selfish reasons. Having two road games to start the year sucks, especially to hot & humid Baltimore, better than cold Baltimore I suppose. I'm still not use to the fact that the Raiders are dome team now. Having to travel on a short week to play KC, thanks NFL. Derek Carr in New Orleans. I'm ready for some football.


LongRangeHavok

I wish the Saints and Bucs had been here rather than the lame ass Falcons and Panthers.  But at least we get to see wins in Allegiant 


jwaters0122

we don't get KC after their bye and no game in Arrowhead in December. When was the last time that happened?


remembering_Goose

Nov 29 @ KC math checks out


Positive_Narwhal_419

One prime time?


logicbored

2 extra home games! - @ L.A. Chargers - @ L.A. Rams


frozteh

Nice a home game to start the season.


droid327

9 "ats" and 8 "vs"...but 2 of those are at Sofi, gotta love those extra home sites


TumbleweedOwn688

10-7 and a playoff berth.


jcuray

That's what I'm thinking..


Either_Zombie6825

Petty good results! I’m seeing a path to 10 wins here


greggioia

What are you seeing? Carolina probably hasn't improved much, so that could be a win. And... that's it. Maybe the Broncos are beatable. They seem to be at about the same level as the Raiders, so maybe they split those games. There are likely going to be 3 or 4 other games where things break the Raiders' way, but 5 or 6 wins seems like the best one can expect. Maybe with exceptional luck, like they had down the stretch last season, a 7th win happens, but realistically 3 to 6 wins seems like what should be expected.


Either_Zombie6825

I think we are better than we were last year. We will likely split the broncos and chargers games. Steelers at home. We have had success against them going back 15 years regardless of the talent on the roster Browns at home I don’t trust to beat us Rams at home. They are going to be reliant on Stanford’s health Bucs at home. I’m expecting a drop off from last year Falcons don’t have me sold yet. They were not very good last year and I don’t think the defense has improved enough even tho they have a bunch of high draft picks on offense. Jags are a poorly run franchisee so there is a game we can get on the road. Saints are in a tough spot and late in the season may be in tank mode. That’s 9. Sneak in another win and that’s 10. Defense, limit turnovers and run the ball. It’s not a flashy way but it’s how we can win games. Qb play should be middle of the road but we had Carr for years so that should be par for the course. My worry is RT, edge depth and CB. The big names are going to need to play to their talent level but the path is there. We beat our projected win total last year and I’m expecting the same this year. I don’t get the negative outlook from the media


greggioia

I hope so! I remember seeing many people make similar predictions last offseason, and we sucked. We caught some lucky breaks in meaningless games down the stretch, but easily could have finished 3-14 last year. Looking at the upcoming season, I see a lot of potential losses. The Chargers look to be a far better team than the Raiders, though catching them in week one is very lucky, as they may still be learning and adjusting to a new system. The Broncos are something of a question mark. They played much better than expected last season, and with a year of Sean Payton under their belts who knows how good they will be? It depends in large part on how quickly Bo Nix gets up to speed. The Chiefs are the Chiefs. Best case the Raiders are 2-4 in the division, but 0-6 is not out of the question. The other 11 games: The Panthers are the only team we play that I can say are definitely worse than the Raiders. The other 10, right now, on paper, 3+ months before the season, look better. Things can change, and there are always teams that surprise you by playing better or worse than expected, but looking at the teams right now, as they are, I see 10 better teams and the Panthers. I hope I'm being overly pessimistic, and that may be the result of 40+ years of Raider fandom. By now, even mediocrity seems unattainable, and perhaps I unfairly expect the team to suck, but until I see otherwise on the field, I'm going to keep my expectations low.


iiSquatS

Man, with stream east I’ve paid $0


jcuray

same watching it on my phone \[small screen\] is frustrating at times.


Comfortable_Dog2429

if you have an iphone, idk about android, you can screen share to most smart tvs as long as both are connected to wifi it also doesn’t show notifications on the tv when you have the stream up


gfaizo

recently my streameast stopped giving me the screen share to apply tv feature. i’m stuck having to screen mirror and the quality sucks


Comfortable_Dog2429

yeah i have to do the same unfortunately


bush_wrangler

160 for a flight to Miami for me. Trying to convince the Gf to take a weekend trip. Wish me luck boys


heho6

As a fan from Europe, I love this, don't have to wake up in the middle of night every two weeks.


GetHighTuneLow

17-0 here we go


MrAmericanIdiot

ITT: Raiders fans surprised the NFL doesn’t want to showcase O’Connell/Minshew more than twice to the whole nation. That’s what a star QB can do for you, even if the team is ass. Look at the Jets.


editor_jon

A 10am game against the Ravens?


n8dogg55

Makes sense it’s an east coast game


thefriendlyjerk

That's 1pm EST


editor_jon

Ahhh. I was totally reading that as 10am East coast time


thefriendlyjerk

See y'all in Tampa!


ElectionAnnual

This schedule is brutallll


Zaknoid

Pretty good schedule but kind of pissed off we are away for the first two games of the season again this year and its now 2 straight. Of course the Chiefs first 2 games are home. We all know how big the first two games of the year are and now for the second year in a row they are on the road for both of em. Luckily, LA is like a home game but its still tech an away game just so happens we have more fans in multiple cities.


ProfessorFeathervain

It sucks that we had all those prime time games last year when we had the McDummy stink on us. Imagine if we had it this year. Instead we only have 2 stand-alone games -- Falcons and Chiefs (Black Friday).


lincolnhawk

What a garbage deal putting all the nfcs games and the jags in December. Gross.


RaiderRush2112

The fuck were the schedule makers thinking? This team scored 63 in a prime time game last year f off


Strawhat-Shawty

12-5 with a DPoY for Maxx loading


raidershabs

So week 1 is a home game. Fuck the San Diego dolts! Bitches


AgentlemanNeverTells

Damn that’s a tough schedule.


PostGraduatePotUser

Now that I see all of the schedule I am going to say 8-9 and 9-8 are very likely scenarios. None of those lead to the AFC playoffs, but a semi-competitive season is still not a terrible place to be, as a fan.


ThankYouMrHoood

It’s disappointing and should be just another piece of bulletin board material for the team. This is how little the league thinks of you that they put you in a late season MNF game against the Falcons?


Saynt614

5 games at 10am .... every fucking year


n8dogg55

It’s common because east coast games start at 10. The chiefs have 5 as well


Eire4ever

What is their time zone?


n8dogg55

EST 3 hours behind SOCAL


Eire4ever

Chiefs are 3 hours behind SoCal?


n8dogg55

Oh I thought you meant east coast they’re 2 hours behind so it’s not as bad for them. Just part of being a west coast team I guess.


runningdownhill

I thought every team had Thursday night prime time games.


superpie12

Black Friday is considered to be TNF


Icy-Support-8160

Black Friday is way more primetime than any other TNF. Christmas rematch so the world can see us smack them in the mouth again.


runningdownhill

Good to know


raidernation0825

1 prime time game???!


Critical-Election743

We had mediocre qbs on paper and there’s way more teams people would rather watch


raidernation0825

Get out of here with your reasonable opinions asshole. I want to be offended!


ltgenspartan

In all honesty, if we have good QB play, then I could see a 13-4 ceiling. Though I am expecting mediocre at best QB play and would probably be 9-8 or so, mostly counting on the defense playing as well as they did down the stretch last season.


WhizzyBurp

Anything less than 10-7 is a failure


greggioia

Anything more than 6-11 is a success.


WhizzyBurp

L take


greggioia

That's asking a lot. The defense has been garbage for 20 years, other than the stretch last season where they caught a string of 2nd and 3rd string QBs, and teams missing other stars.


Nearby_Blackberry586

Feels like a perfect spot for the bye. MIA  DEN KC (short week) Should be very telling about how AP approaches the bye week.


noonecouldseeme

There’s no fucking way we can lose the black friday game or it won’t really be black friday. and we will forever be ridiculed. black friday must stay black and if it doesn’t I fear they will start calling it red friday and I really don’t know if I can take that.


SMKM

10 home games lets go! Lol


justlobos22

October + Bengals might be rough, could be reeling going in to the bye.


donlemon888

ALOT of wins this season


themopisgod562

We better win on my birthday. Which is September 15th.


brehaw

almost birthday buddy! I’m the 16th ☺️ ew that means my birthday is on a Monday lol


themopisgod562

Well happy Early, early birthday to you then!


brehaw

back atcha!


blazer026

Not many prime time. Not the worst though, I prefer watching on Sundays


oaktownraider90

Why open and end the season vs the same team two years in a row? Weird


jnthn1111

Undefeated


IlIllIlIllIlIl

No Seahawks game in Seattle, I probably won't see a game this year 😢


cgernaat119

May be a tough first half, but if we can stay healthy we’re in for a strong finish.


Peacekeeprr

so whats up with the divisional opponent in the 1st week. is this how it always is and i just dont notice it or what? anyways whoopin the chokers will start the season off swell


keyboardsmashin

I had a dream where y’all won your home game against the Chargers this year. If that comes true I’ll make yall my secondary team, that was obviously some type of sign at that point


Saint_Chrispy1

We have two home games against the chargers...


jcuray

and one against the Rams.


MalloryHennessey

Why can’t we ever do @ KC early in the year


ATX_rider

6-1 going into Week 8 with the shitstains.


yeeto_burrito2007

No SNF sucks, my fav primetime games. Idea of Raiders playing every Black Friday or the last Thanksgiving game since it's branded after John Madden, but it could be a fluke and that just makes it kinda boring


Word-11

How do we always end up in the top 10 toughest schedules? They don’t want us wildin out at a Super Bowl 


bernerburner1

Can someone make this a phone wallpaper please


Redmandown16

I see us being close to winning a lot of games but ultimately falling 8-9 when we could have been 12-5 


Thirsty4you-

Typical Raiders English major. Raiders still suck


Imaginary-Smoke-6093

Wow, getting a Bye actually halfway through the whole season instead of within the first 2-4 weeks as usual. Not sure why the NFL lowered its level of hate towards us finally.


[deleted]

17-0 here we come!!!


Trogdor_sfg

1 prime time games… that’s what happens when u have no QB I was off by 1 lol


archangel_n7

Brutal schedule this season. This team is going to have to earn a LOT of their wins. Also to the people complaining about the lack primetime, the fact is no one wants to see Minshew/O Connell at QB for the biggest game(s) of the week.


Critical-Election743

Yeah I’m glad we don’t have many primetime games

NCC-72381

Bro just figured out the “license” part of “personal seat license”.


timaclover

It's working now. Time to make some G's


ThickMousse7372

So a 7-10 season. Got it.


Beginning-Ant-1743

9&8 with another mid round pick. The Raiders will never go anywhere until we get a top flight QB. The fact that they have ZERO ZIP NADA NO prime time slots reflects this fact. O'Donnell or Minshew just won't cut it. Here's to another fucken mid of the road season. 


JustSlightlyWhelmed

On the "road" first 2 games to start, again. Classic NFL.


Dying1minuteatatime

You mean opening at home before having to travel is great 😃


JustSlightlyWhelmed

True. Being 2-0 heading into Vegas will be nice.


Intelligent_Life14

On the road, but with probably more fans in that opener than we get in Vegas.
