Ridealong summary

The Raiders might just surprise everyone by hitting six wins this season, despite last year's dismal record of three wins. With new talent and a fresh coaching staff, there's potential for a significant turnaround, especially if their Heisman-winning quarterback performs as expected. NFL parity means teams can shift from last to playoff contenders in no time, making this a pivotal year for Vegas.

Ridealong summary

The Raiders should consider trading their number one pick to avoid ruining quarterback Fernando Mendoza’s career. With more cap space than any team and two first-round picks, focusing on bolstering the offensive line first is crucial. This strategy mirrors past mistakes seen with quarterbacks like Andrew Luck, where poor protection led to early career struggles.

Texas Tech is projected to win 11.5 games in the 2026 season, a number that raises eyebrows among analysts. With a favorable schedule and no top-ranked opponents, the Red Raiders could easily navigate to a strong record, but questions remain about potential pitfalls. If they fall short of this total, it may indicate deeper issues with the team or coaching staff.

Max Crosby is likely to remain with the Raiders despite speculation about his availability. With most teams having spent their budget in free agency and a strong edge draft class available, it's improbable that another team will make a serious move for him.

The irony is that while fans may initially turn on him, time will heal those wounds, especially after his Super Bowl win.
