The Las Vegas Raiders 2021 schedule is out and the pressure is no doubt on Jon Gruden and his players. 

After failing to make the postseason once again in 2020, the Las Vegas Raiders and Jon Gruden are hoping to wipe away the rough memories from last campaign and get themselves over the hump once the new season finally rolls around. With that said, things are always going to be tough when the Kansas City Chiefs are in your division and dominating each weekend.

Despite the Raiders taking down Kansas City during the regular season last fall, they still went on to watch Andy Reid’s men win the AFC and advance to the Super Bowl in style. Looking forward to next year, what can Raiders fans expect from the squad?

The pressure will be on Derek Carr come 2021 for the Raiders

It goes without saying, but there will be mountains of pressure on Derek Carr this upcoming season. After the Russell Wilson trade rumors fizzled throughout the offseason for Vegas, this offense will once again be operated by Carr. Fans want to see him live up to the hype and power the team to victories.

The silly mistakes and cringe-worthy interceptions must come to an end. Fortunately for Carr, the defense looks to be much improved in 2021 following the signings of Solomon Thomas and Yannick Ngakoue. Will it be enough for the team to win 9-10 games and put themselves in a position to suit up for some playoff contests? We don’t think so, as we’re predicting Vegas to finish 2021 at 8-9.
