The 2019 NFL season is just days away, and the Oakland Raiders are one team that nobody knows exactly what to expect from. The team has a new player starting at over half of the positions, and even without Antonio Brown, the Raiders still have a much improved team from 2018.
Along with being a much better team from last season, the Raiders have the hardest schedule in the NFL, playing five straight games away from Oakland, and playing seven games against returning playoff teams. The early season schedule is a gauntlet, including opening up at home with two divisional opponents in the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs.
