I like opening and closing with division rivals. Raiders have a nice week 10 bye in the middle of their toughest stretch of games.
They have one of the harder schedules this year, but it's more good teams than great ones. I think we'll have an elite defense and win a lot of tough games. My prediction is 10-7 and squeak into the playoffs.

8-9 last year despite all the turmoil. Best defense in the league after AP took over.
Most of the important guys are back, plus we've added JPJ, Bowers, and Wilkens, who should all be high-level contributors immediately.
I also think the AFC West is going to be a lot softer than people seem to expect.

Would be nice to see. Lots of good teams in AFC though.

The three almost sure losses are going to be at Ravens, at Bengals, and at Dolphins. Those are all early games, which the Raiders always seem to lose.
Do the 49ers have a hard time in those East Coast morning games?
reply
I am sure you would be happy if they split with they Chiefs.
49ers are hit or miss with east coast games. I have seen them dominate and seen them struggle so can't really say either way. Maybe depending on the week in the season, how much travel they have had recently and how banged up they are.

Another great aspect of the schedule is that we play Atlanta on MNF. Cousins is a good QB, but he's famously terrible in primetime.
Why would MNF have wanted that matchup?
reply
Maybe they are expecting Falcons to be good.
