Are the 3-0 Raiders actually for real — or are they the biggest “frauds” in the NFL?
A recent analytics model labeled the undefeated Las Vegas Raiders as the league's biggest frauds through three weeks. But does the evidence actually support that?
Jesse Merrick and former Raiders wide receiver Ryan Hoag dig into the numbers behind the Raiders' 3-0 start and separate what's potentially sustainable from what should legitimately concern Raider Nation.
There are plenty of reasons to believe this start isn't a fluke. The Raiders have protected Kirk Cousins, generated pressure defensively, played disciplined football, won on special teams and found different ways to win each week. And now Brock Bowers is back in Klint Kubiak's offense.
But there are warning signs, too. The running game has struggled, turnovers have played a significant role in the Raiders' success and the schedule is about to get MUCH tougher.
Then we turn our attention to Raiders vs. Chiefs, as two 3-0 AFC West rivals meet with first place on the line. We break down the advanced stats behind the matchup and the biggest keys for Vegas against Patrick Mahomes, Kenneth Walker and Kansas City.
