3 Most Important Las Vegas Raiders Home Games In 2022

Finally, the NFL released its 2022 schedule yesterday. In a year where the Las Vegas Raiders are looking to make a statement, the fanbase was itching to see who they were going to play. After a season where they finished 10-7 and made the playoffs, Las Vegas is in line for a difficult schedule. Regardless, these three home games will be crucial for a return trip to the playoffs.

Las Vegas won’t have an easy road in 2022

Week 2: Raiders vs Cardinals

While Week 1 in Los Angeles may feel like the home opener for the Raiders, their first true home game will come against the Arizona Cardinals the following week. As a playoff team in 2021, Arizona would lose to the eventual Super Bowl champion Rams in the first round. However, they are still a team that is planning on winning now.

The Raiders, like every team, want to win all of their home games. In order to win their first one, they will have to keep electrifying quarterback Kyler Murray under wraps. Although he has his deficiencies as a player, he can still take over a game if you let him. Fortunately for Las Vegas, the Cardinals’ star wide receiver, De’Andre Hopkins, will not be playing due to suspension. In a game that could be an offensive shootout otherwise, his absence might be the difference.
