Las Vegas Raiders' predicted regular season record

The Raiders will win their final four games and go on a positive run to close the season, but the 9-8 record won't be enough in a close race for the AFC Wild Card.

Still, there will be lots of positives for the franchise, and Gardner Minshew will have his contract extended.
