A Closer Look at the Raiders' Remaining Schedule

The Las Vegas Raiders are one of four NFL teams that are on a bye week for Week 13. The team currently has a 5-7 record and is third in the AFC West and the 12th seed in the AFC.

There are five games left remaining on the Raiders' schedule. Those five games are against the Minnesota Vikings, the Las Angeles Chargers, the Kansas City Chiefs, the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos.

After the Week 13 bye, the Raiders are back in Allegiant Stadium to take on the Vikings, who also are in their bye week. The Vikings are 6-6 and on a two-game losing streak after falling, 12-10, to the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. The Vikings are second in the NFC North and the seventh seed in the NFC.

In week 15, the Raiders take on the Los Angeles Chargers in Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas for the second time this season. The Chargers are 4-7 and are 1-1 against the AFC West.

The Silver and Black lost the first game this season against the Chargers, 24-17, in Week 4. The Chargers are on a three-game losing streak, sit last in the AFC West and are the 13th seed in the AFC.

In Week 16, the Raiders head to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs on Christmas Day. This will be the second game between the teams this season after the Raiders lost, 31-17, to the Chiefs last Sunday.

The Chiefs are 8-3 on the season, as well as 3-1 in the division and leading the AFC West, in addition to being the second seed in the AFC.

In Week 17, the Raiders play their final road game of the regular season against the Colts in Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The Colts are 6-5 and have a 2-2 record in the AFC South. Indianapolis is second in the division behind the Jacksonville Jaguars and is the seventh seed in the AFC.

The final game on the Raiders' schedule is Week 18 against the Denver Broncos. The first time these two teams met each other was in the season opener Mile High Stadium, where the Silver and Black defeated the Broncos, 17-16.

The Broncos are 6-5 and on a five-game winning streak. They are second in the AFC West as well as the ninth seed in the AFC.

With five games left on the schedule with the Raiders still competing in the AFC playoff race, it will be very interesting to watch how the rest of the season pans out for the Silver and Black.

The Silver and Black will return home to Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas to take on the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, December 10, at 4:05 p.m. EST/1:05 p.m. PST.
