Not a bad game at all to start the “MNF” schedule. The Ravens have Lamar Jackson playing quarterback, a ton of hype around them and are a damn good AFC team.
The Raiders are taking over Las Vegas, Jon Gruden is an electric factory and they should be solid this season.

The NFL is also trying to showcase Vegas as much as possible. Remember, the 2022 NFL draft is going to be held there after the 2020 draft scheduled for Sin City went remote.
The league has monster plans for Vegas, and it’s not hard to see why. It’s a city built for degenerates who love sports, drinking and gambling.
Now, the Raiders will get a home game as the first “MNF” matchup of the season.
The 2022 NFL Draft is now scheduled for April 28-30 in Las Vegas.
