Oakland has really developed an exciting young bunch and have some expectations heading into this season as they look to steal one on the road early on.
Oakland Raiders
The Raiders aren’t necessarily satisfied for happy after coming off a 7-9, 3rd place finish in the AFC West last season.
However, it certainly is something to build on after struggling for so many seasons in a row.
The Raiders made some improvements to their young bunch this past offseason and it started with the protection. Oakland bolstered their offensive line with the signing of Kelechi Osmele.

QB Derek Carr took a giant step in the right direction last year and with the acquisition of a big offensive line move, Carr could be in store for an even bigger season.
In 2015, Carr fell just short of 4000 yards while tossing 32 touchdowns.
Amari Cooper has developed a lot of chemistry with Carr, as the Raiders WR led Oakland with a 14.9 yards per catch stat in 2015.
Look for these two to really pick on a weak Saints secondary that has been a giant problem for them over the last couple seasons.
New Orleans Saints
For having one of the best QBs in the game, the Saints are extremely frustrating.
They enter this season with lower expectations than normal, as they will once again put almost all the team’s pressure on the arm of Drew Brees.
Last season, Brees finished with 4870 yards and 32 touchdowns to his credit. Take into account the group of receivers he did it with and those numbers look astounding.

Brees will have Brandin Cooks, Willie Snead and rookie Michael Thomas to work with out wide this season, as both Cooks and Snead became his top 2 targets last season.
The problems from this team stem defensively.
They sat at 32nd in scoring defense and 31st in total defense last year and while they didn’t do too much to improve themselves, they still must figure things out early this season or it could lead to another disaster.
