1. Raiders will be the last undefeated team in the AFC after Week 4’s games

Entering Week 4, there are only five undefeated teams left. Over in the NFC, we have the Arizona Cardinals, the Carolina Panthers and the Los Angeles Rams. In the AFC, it is the Raiders and the Broncos. While we should expect at least a few of these 3-0 teams to lose for the first time this season this week, the Raiders will be the last undefeated team in the AFC heading into Week 5.

This is because the Broncos will face a tough opponent in the Baltimore Ravens. While playing at altitude in the first quarter of the season is tough, the Ravens are battle-tested and will give the Broncos everything they have got. As the Raiders get ready for their Monday night game vs. the Chargers, they will celebrate the Broncos suffering their first loss of the season on Sunday.

Of course, the Raiders will have to do their part and take care of business on Monday night. In another thrilling game, Las Vegas feeds off the visiting home crowd and defeats the Chargers by 10 points. The Chargers will try to orchestrate a game-winning drive down a field goal, but a poorly-thrown football by Herbert will result in a game-clinching pick-six for the Silver and Black.

While the Raiders have plenty to improve on, they will be 4-0 after the first quarter of the season.
