Oakland Raiders 2018 schedule release: Games, dates and times
By Brad Weiss
The Oakland Raiders are coming off a disappointing 6-10 season in 2017, and here is their slate of games for the 2018 campaign.
The Oakland Raiders will head into the 2018 season with a new head coach, as they inked Jon Gruden this offseason. Gruden has spent his first offseason back with the team reshaping the roster, and they will have a completely different look next season.
When it comes to the Raiders, the expectations will be high, as they were supposed to challenge for a spot in the Super Bowl last season. However, they struggled to play consistent football, and found themselves near the bottom of the AFC West.
Heading into 2018, all eyes will be on the defense, as they could not stop anybody last season. In addition, the offense took a serious step back, and Derek Carr will be expected to take the next step in his development in year five.
Here is a full list of their opponents, with the weekly schedule updated as the information is released.
Week 1: vs. Los Angeles Rams (MNF)
Week 2: at Denver Broncos
Week 3: at Miami Dolphins
Week 4: vs. Cleveland Browns
