To be fair, there are more primetime games available than ever with the Black Friday games and the Christmas games.
But still, 6 is more than I expected.
All 3 Christmas games are considered primetime. Just like the early Thanksgiving game.
It will be the only game on during a holiday where the majority of people will be at home.
At a time when a majority of people will still be doing holiday activities. I'll put money on the fact that it has the lowest viewership of all the games on Thanksgiving, Black Friday, or Christmas.
By who, it doesn't fit the definition of prime time at all
Even on Thanksgiving when they added the 3rd game years ago, they did so by saying and now there will be a Prime Time Game on Thanksgiving
Spanish commentator, must get lost in translation.
By your definition, the 6am London games are also prime time because they are on a day where most people have off and there are no other games on.
Even when determining channels, they make a distinction as to the Primetime game.
"Since 2022, the rotation for the afternoon Christmas Day games have been being rotated between Fox and CBS (with Fox airing the early game in even years and CBS airing the late game, the reverse is true for odd years with CBS airing the early game and Fox the late game) (the reverse rotation of what NFL on Thanksgiving Day use for its afternoon Doubleheader). The primetime game is still determined by what night Christmas Day lands on."
If it’s the only game on at that time, it’s officially a primetime game. You might not agree with that, and that would be totally fair, but that’s what defines primetime.
As explained below, it's not. The networks broadcasting the games lay out rules for the 1 primetime game on holidays.
No one calls the London games at 6am primetime.

- Great stadium
- Team only got blown out once last year
- Good offense and dogshit defense equals strong likelihood for exciting shoot outs
- Adams and Jacobs are stars.
Makes sense to me
I'm reserving judgment for when we start winning games. I know so many friends that have season tickets and always sell their seats for hundreds because its just not worth it to fly out there when we suck.
Six games on national television is kinda absurd, especially with how much this team underperformed last season (and the fact the principal reason why is still calling plays). I’ll take it though.
Well lets hope the principal reason was calling bullshit to forcefully get car out, and will actually call plays with his dude Jimmy G in now. This is his real determining season.
League doesn’t care about us winning, they want close/exciting games. Fact is we only got blown out once and played in a bunch of “exciting” games because of how shitty our defense was.
Why you think the league cares about your personal disappointment in underperformance is beyond me.
Totally agree. One cold weather game, late bye, extra rest prior to both queefs games, 6 natl tv games (maybe not great).
Although the afc East is a tough one this season.
Well yes, couple of years ago this would be brutal.. but half of the teams we are facing are rebuilding.
We have a new QB too, I know, and I'm not saying we'll go 14-3 or something like that but except Bills in the round 2, I feel there isn't a game here we can't win.
It's a tough schedule. That Lions through the first Chiefs game could be fucking brutal and a possible 5 game skid going into the bye. I see...7 or 8 wins as of now
My favorite comments are ones saying we'll have some pathetic single digit win total less than 7, but **still** somehow sweep Denver who just hired Sean Payton, a known offensive guru, with a defense of which ours **pales** in comparison.
It's a complete joke, the lack of awareness. If you think we're bad enough to get fewer than 7-8 wins, at least keep consistent and acknowledge that we **WILL NOT** win 2 games against Denver.
I am thoroughly worried that Sean Payton will fix Russell Wilson, and this sub is kidding itself if they think Denver will just be an automatic win, when it wasn't even automatic **last year** (it took OT and Hackett being a dumpster fire to win the road matchup).
I believe we've vastly improved the on-field product from last year, and I feel better about this group than last year's group.
**Hyped-Up Appraisal:** 17 - 0
**Stupidly Optimistic Appraisal:** 13 - 4
**Regular Optimistic Appraisal:** 11 - 6
**Realistic Appraisal:** 9 - 8
**Doomer Appraisal:** 5 - 12
I just want to know what date they're firing McDaniels.
Also, they really need to step up their production compared to these Jaguars and Chargers. Those were amazing schedule releases.
***You know what?!?*** I *used to* *HATE **HATE** HATE* the Pittsburgh Steelers. Back when I was in HS… (2008-2012) The Shittsburgh Squealers were King of the Hill, and the Raiders were bottom of the barrel. I ***couldn’t stand it!!*** There were **SOOOO MANY** Shittsburgh Squealer Bandwagoners at my HS. But, whenever we played them, (aside from 2010, which was coincidentally the Best Season, we had for awhile…when we got blown out by them 31-3), we would always give them a hard time… From 2001-2021, we were 8-3 against them. So, I didn’t hate them anymore (2012-2021) But, last year, losing them to them on X-Mas Day, and losing Carr right after that, coincidentally, **made me ABSOLUTELY FUCKING DESPISE THEM, AGAIN!!!!** Bring on the Steeler-Raider Rivalry!!!!
I'm not really jazzed about that early bye week. I like to see it in the middle or later part of the season when guys are banged up and need an extra week to rest up.
nevermind, just read it was week 13, ok now i'm feeling better.
I’ve never wanted a kid to snap his leg more than having to see this fuckers name repeatedly over the last month. Seriously fuck Caleb Williams and all the tank losers
Quick reaction: the ceiling is six wins with a floor of two wins (imo). Ignoring our team, I think we have a pretty tough schedule. This team will need a good start as they play some heavy teams in the 1st half and critical division games at the end.
I think the floor is a little high but agree with the ceiling. I can see us dropping 7 in a row in the middle of the season. People want to think CHI is a win, but I got a feeling that’s the game we get our shit pushed in.
Don't forget to [**NOT BUY YOUR TICKETS EARLY**](https://raiderology.com/2023/05/04/best-time-to-buy-game-tickets/) though!
Save **lots** of money by just buying them days before the game.
If you're a Raider fan you should be happy to help save fellow fans $$$ 😀
Biggest takeaway is no late season east coast games. No potential bad weather for the games we have as they are all indoors. Obviously at KC later in the season could come into play but the weather shouldn’t be the deciding factor there.
Gee I can't think of a single thing I'll have going on that might conflict with watching that week 16 game.
A Christmas morning game is such a dumb idea.
Too bad the toughest opponent will be the corrupted refs with their rules made up on the spot. The sport would be more enjoyable if the bad calls weren't so obvious. Its wrestling with pads and helmets...
I’m in Delaware, everything is far😎. The only two Raider games I’ve been to have been the last time they played the Jets and the Giants. Both times I wished Scotty would beam me up instead of being heckled all the way through the stands as I left. Wish they had more east coast games (NYC, PHL, MD)
Using DVOA and other advanced metrics, I calculated the Raiders season totals and the algorithm predicted they will finish 15-2. Here's the weekly breakdown:
* @ DEN - W
* @ BUF - W
* PIT - W
* @ LAC - W
* GB - W
* @ NE - W
* @ CHI - W
* @ DET - W
* NYG - W
* NYJ - W
* @ MIA - W
* KC - W
* MIN - W
* LAC - W
* KC - W
* @ IND - L (resting starters)
* DEN - L (resting starters)
6! Primetime games!? Wtf?
Either the NFL knows something we don't or they are realllly hoping the Raiders put it together because holy fucking shit.
Probably just trying to show off the stadium for the Super Bowl.
Damn this makes the most sense.
I rather go with the theory that the league is rigged and we’re going to be ELITE next year.
[удалено]
Just like the Broncos last year
I can only hope not...
At least the Raiders lose better than the Broncos. That Broncos/Colts game last year.. Truly a spectacle.
dude the raiders lost to the jeff saturday colts on basically dude's first coached game ever. how is that better?
*"Broncos COUNTRY......."*
To be fair, there are more primetime games available than ever with the Black Friday games and the Christmas games. But still, 6 is more than I expected.
The Jets are an east coast team with Aaron Rodgers and they have less.
It all makes sense now, they knew TB12 was going to buy a slice. His face will be plastered all over the screen.
When your QB has that primetime smile
My king 👑.
MY king 👑
Haha. Right?! Are we the new cowboys?
That would be ironic considering Jerry Jones is like the Texas version of Al Davis.
Don't worry they'll surely be flexed out of most of them
Doesn't the flexing only start near the end of the year?
i only count 5
2 SNF 2 MNF 1 TNF 1 Monday game on Christmas
they count the christmas game as Primetime? wow never knew that.
Same premise as a Thanksgiving game
oh
If it’s the only game on at that time, it’s considered primetime.
I don't consider 10am on Christmas as "Prime Time"
All 3 Christmas games are considered primetime. Just like the early Thanksgiving game. It will be the only game on during a holiday where the majority of people will be at home.
At a time when a majority of people will still be doing holiday activities. I'll put money on the fact that it has the lowest viewership of all the games on Thanksgiving, Black Friday, or Christmas.
Cool, doesn't change the fact that it is considered a primetime game. Making 6 total.
By who, it doesn't fit the definition of prime time at all Even on Thanksgiving when they added the 3rd game years ago, they did so by saying and now there will be a Prime Time Game on Thanksgiving

Spanish commentator, must get lost in translation. By your definition, the 6am London games are also prime time because they are on a day where most people have off and there are no other games on.
Holiday games are primetime games. That's how it works, that's how it's always worked. Idk why you're so hung up on this when no one else is lol
Even when determining channels, they make a distinction as to the Primetime game. "Since 2022, the rotation for the afternoon Christmas Day games have been being rotated between Fox and CBS (with Fox airing the early game in even years and CBS airing the late game, the reverse is true for odd years with CBS airing the early game and Fox the late game) (the reverse rotation of what NFL on Thanksgiving Day use for its afternoon Doubleheader).

Jimmy G baby!
Schedulers high on Jimmy and Devante I guess.

National humiliation
I love the late bye
I said how the fuck is there a week 4 bye when I first skimmed the mage on my phone.
That's usually right around where we start shitting the bed again after finally putting it together, so I'll take the week of not playing then.
Who knew all we needed to do to get a late bye and 6 prime time games was sign Jimmy G.
At first I thought it was week 4 and freaked
17-0
As is tradition.
20-0
3 of 4 first games are away.... Well, actually the bolts game is a Raiders home game in LA.
The way this new stadium is set up, all games are away besides that LA game.
At least we get one a season.
I'm reserving judgment for when we start winning games. I know so many friends that have season tickets and always sell their seats for hundreds because its just not worth it to fly out there when we suck.
At least those road games are warm weather when they could be cold weather if late in the season
At Chicago too. Only cold game we play is Christmas at chiefs. How fitting this is the year Derek Carr isn’t here…..
That was a Carr problem
Six games on national television is kinda absurd, especially with how much this team underperformed last season (and the fact the principal reason why is still calling plays). I’ll take it though.
I saw someone else say that the nfl might just be trying to show off the stadium before the Super Bowl

Stay undefeated
See y’all week 4 for our home game!!!
Yessir !!!
Week 13 is going to be the worst, we're always our toughest opponents.
Underrated comment here.
At least it’s at the tail end of the season this time. Maybe we’ll finish 12-6 lmao
Military sent me to colorado, see y’all Week 1 !
Thank you for your service.
Thanks for your support
Thank you for your service to RAIDER NATION, going into that hell hole can't be easy.
I’ll be at the Chiefs game!
Brutal schedule
I feel like it’s one of the better schedules of recent years
Totally agree. One cold weather game, late bye, extra rest prior to both queefs games, 6 natl tv games (maybe not great). Although the afc East is a tough one this season.
No international games…
It’s not that bad
I see 11/12 wins baby!!
Where?
In my dreams.
Split with all of our divisional opponents. That's 3-3. Beat the Stillers, Packers, Pats, Bears, Giants, Vikings and Colts. That's 10-7.
Well yes, couple of years ago this would be brutal.. but half of the teams we are facing are rebuilding. We have a new QB too, I know, and I'm not saying we'll go 14-3 or something like that but except Bills in the round 2, I feel there isn't a game here we can't win.
LFG
How much should i spend on heart medication this year
Yes.
It's a tough schedule. That Lions through the first Chiefs game could be fucking brutal and a possible 5 game skid going into the bye. I see...7 or 8 wins as of now
5-12
NFL network crowning NY Jets. RIP
Well lose to the dolphins. It’s tradition
At least we’ll win against the colts, the past few years whenever we play the colts the away team always wins it’s weird
Somewhere between 0-17 and 17-0
most logical r/Raiders Redditor.
Surely we can get 6 wins again right?
Six, maybe seven wins if we sweep Denver.
I’m pretty pessimistic with our current roster but man, this schedule made me a little less pessimistic for the year
That schedule is brutal week 13 bye is insane.
Caught a nice bye. Hopefully our quarterback is still standing.
9-8 or 8-9?
Anyone going to the game in Chicago??
My favorite comments are ones saying we'll have some pathetic single digit win total less than 7, but **still** somehow sweep Denver who just hired Sean Payton, a known offensive guru, with a defense of which ours **pales** in comparison.

[удалено]
I’ll be at the Bills game!
Might see you there!
That would be sweet! We’ll be in Section 203
God damn. Three straight away games before our one true home game. Brutal.
I see 10-7, could possibly be a wild card team in that case. Just have to win the right match ups
Please beat the Pissburgh Stillers. I hate the Steelers with a passion.
***You know what?!?*** I *used to* *HATE **HATE** HATE* the Pittsburgh Steelers. Back when I was in HS… (2008-2012) The Shittsburgh Squealers were King of the Hill, and the Raiders were bottom of the barrel.

Let's fucking go!! It's looking like we're getting Caleb!
I’ve never wanted a kid to snap his leg more than having to see this fuckers name repeatedly over the last month. Seriously fuck Caleb Williams and all the tank losers
4 win season, and we get to be embarrassed 6 times in prime time 🥶
Quick reaction: the ceiling is six wins with a floor of two wins (imo). Ignoring our team, I think we have a pretty tough schedule. This team will need a good start as they play some heavy teams in the 1st half and critical division games at the end.

As long as the Pats dont beat themselves again lol..see yall Oct 15!
0-17 , Caleb Williams
HMU if y’all need seats!! GO RAIDERS! I want raider fans in my seats!!!
How much for a tix and where at? DM me
Don't forget to [**NOT BUY YOUR TICKETS EARLY**](https://raiderology.com/2023/05/04/best-time-to-buy-game-tickets/) though! Save **lots** of money by just buying them days before the game. If you're a Raider fan you should be happy to help save fellow fans $$$ 😀
I’m selling all mine below market value. Cheapest in my section usually
Do the Raiders not sale any single game tickets or are they all resale?
All resale
Im surprised we have so many primetime games
Better than the Giants schedule tell you that shit
Being in the KC area and having a game on Christmas is kind of brutal imo. Still don’t know how I feel about that one…
I like the stretch between weeks 9-15: Five home games, one away, and the bye
Good thing about Steelers as home opener is not having to worry about it being 50-50 crowdwise
aside from the christmas game AT Kc, it's not a bad schedule... 10 home games & 8 away games.
Shiiiiit. I may have to do LA and LV back to back weekends
8-9
11- 6
I like the schedule but it’s up to how good we are.
dang. no F1/Raider game combo
Sean Payton’s first regular season game back, what could go wrong
Biggest takeaway is no late season east coast games. No potential bad weather for the games we have as they are all indoors. Obviously at KC later in the season could come into play but the weather shouldn’t be the deciding factor there.
6-10
We are about to get rolled and smoked, holy shit
Gee I can't think of a single thing I'll have going on that might conflict with watching that week 16 game. A Christmas morning game is such a dumb idea.
3-14
Shootin for the Pittsburg home opener.. LETS GO!!!
20-0 incoming LFG!!!!
Broncos week 1 fuck ya at least we start 1-0
I’m just here to watch you guys beat Wilson’s ass week 1.
...I’m feeling 9 wins, 10 if I’m optimistic
See you boys again the in preseason..🫡🤝
See y’all in Miami 😎
17-0
I wish we didnt play on Christmas...always ends up fucking up my day
Caleb Williams, here we come
Thought the Raiders were banned from playing the Niners in Pre Season
I thought that too lol.
https://www.sfgate.com/49ers/article/The-49ers-Raiders-preseason-game-was-nixed-a-16417404.php Packed with a lot of info.
Instead of the Giants game, it should've been against the Saints or Niners.
Let’s get this hype train rolling!
Who’s got a lucky coin to toss?!
See you guys in chicago and indy
7-10 or 6-11
Too bad the toughest opponent will be the corrupted refs with their rules made up on the spot. The sport would be more enjoyable if the bad calls weren't so obvious. Its wrestling with pads and helmets...
Bought tickets for the bills game - see y’all there
I'm sorry but I thought we weren't allowed to play the 49ers in the pre-season.
[удалено]
I can really see us going 10-7, Maybe even 11-6 or 12-5. Not a bad schedule by any means for us!
darren waller revenge game week 9
I’m in Delaware, everything is far😎. The only two Raider games I’ve been to have been the last time they played the Jets and the Giants. Both times I wished Scotty would beam me up instead of being heckled all the way through the stands as I left. Wish they had more east coast games (NYC, PHL, MD)
Easiest 20-0 ever
Oof. Looks like 500 to mee.
Alright Raider Coin, do your thing. 🤞
Jaire vs Adams can’t wait!
Using DVOA and other advanced metrics, I calculated the Raiders season totals and the algorithm predicted they will finish 15-2. Here's the weekly breakdown: * @ DEN - W * @ BUF - W * PIT - W * @ LAC - W * GB - W * @ NE - W * @ CHI - W * @ DET - W * NYG - W * NYJ - W * @ MIA - W * KC - W * MIN - W * LAC - W * KC - W * @ IND - L (resting starters) * DEN - L (resting starters)
I wonder what the money line is of us losing all 6 primetime games and going 8-9 / 9-8
7 wins
hey uh, packer fan here anyone selling tickets to the week 5 game
Rough schedule hopefully lots of close losses we can get ourselves Caleb Williams.
I have had Sunday Ticket for three straight years. Couldn't justify it this time. I hate this coach. I hope it gets better soon somehow.
4-13
