But where's the fun in that?
Yes, teams will make major additions in the upcoming draft. There'll also be plenty of turnover at various positions leading up to training camp, during training camp and throughout the preseason. But here's what we do know:
The Oakland roster is much improved from last season. The Raiders were better (at least slightly) than their final 3-13 record indicated. Several of the teams on Oakland's slate have established identities, which means there's a reasonable expectation of what we'll see from them in 2015. With that in mind, we can start to differentiate the more difficult matchups from the easiest ones. Of course, "easiest" is a relative term. There are no actual easy games on Oakland's schedule. However, there are some games that, as of now, seem more winnable than others. In this regard, these matchups will be considered the easiest games on the schedule.
Here's a look at the Raiders' five toughest and five easiest matchups for the upcoming season. The toughest ones are games Oakland is likely to lose. The easiest are games that Oakland can, and should, win.
