Week 3 serves as the home opener for the Las Vegas Raiders and the Raiders have a good chance to start the season 2-1 with a game against the Carolina Panthers.
Dating back to last season, the Panthers have been the worst team in the league and the 2024 campaign has gotten off to a rough start with two blowout losses for the NFL’s worst point differential at negative 60.
That being said, anyone who has been a fan of the team over the last 20 years knows this has the potential to be a “trap game” for the Silver and Black, so the three matchups below are still very important for Las Vegas to win.
