Derek Carr led the Las Vegas Raiders to a 32-40 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 5. We’re sure Gruden must be preparing his players over the last two weeks to take on a tough Buccaneers outfit at the Allegiant Stadium.
Derek Carr will bank upon RB Joshua Jacobs, TE Darren Waller, and WR Hunter Renfrow to help him out. The home team will be without WR Bryan Edwards and CB Keisean Nixon for tonight’s game.

But more importantly, the Raiders’ defense will need to step up in order to silence Tom Brady and his band of speedsters. The likes of Johnathan Abram and Maxx Crosby will be kept busy on their home turf.

Bruce Arians’ Tampa Bay Buccaneers are sitting atop the NFC South Division table at the moment with a 4-2 record. Confidence will be high in the Buccaneers dressing room after their emphatic 38-10 win over the Packers in Week 6.
Tom Brady, in particular, will be in the limelight after his epic display against Aaron Rodgers and Co. TE Rob Gronkowski also impressed last weekend.
What’s more, with Antonio Brown being linked to the Bucs, WRs Mike Evans and Chris Godwin will be eager to prove their worth on Sunday.
The Bucs defense led by Shaquil Barrett will be kept on their toes all night by Carr and his offensive supporting cast. Let’s hope they can replicate what they did against the Packers in Week 6.
