As training camp gets underway for the Oakland Raiders, it is time to start taking are a hard look at the 2018 schedule. Based off last season’s results, the Raiders have the third easiest schedule in the league. They only face three playoff teams from last season (Chiefs, Steelers, and Rams) which is tied for a league low. Oakland’s fortune is because they drew in AFC North and NFC West. Both divisions have two clear top teams, but the rest of the group is no guarantee from week to week.
That being said, the Raiders themselves are no powerhouse, so they need to be prepared to go every week.
