New England Patriots vs Las Vegas Raiders Preview
Two teams looking for a new start with a new coaching staff in 2025 face off in Foxborough.
New England has brought back former player Mike Vrabel, hoping he can erase the stink of a dreadful ending to the Bill Belichick tenue and the one disaster class year of Jerod Mayo.
Las Vegas cleaned house and recruited former Jets, Patriots, USC and Seahawks coach Pete Carroll who has a couple of exciting offensive weapons to use in this game.
Both of these teams should be better solely because of competent coaching on the sideline, and there are a few fun players to watch.
While Asthon Jeanty might get plenty of headlines for the Raiders, its tight end Brock Bowers who has caught my eye.
New England cannot cover tight ends and that is going to be one of the weak points of that defence this year, which suggests Bowers could be in for a big day in the season opener.
