5 Super Bowl pretenders heading into NFL Week 5

Super Bowl Pretenders: Las Vegas Raiders

The Las Vegas Raiders' Super Bowl chances took a big hit in Week 4 when they were handed their first loss. They were outclassed across the board by Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers. Still, the Raiders Nation believes they are real contenders this year.

Even before they lost their first game, the Raiders were shaky. Two of their wins came in overtime after trailing in regulation. Late game heroics are great for team confidence, but are not sustainable. Derek Carr is playing some of his best football right now, but that is not enough to make the Raiders a legitimate Super Bowl threat just yet.
