Will we watch an unexpected superstar emerge? Or maybe a certain playmaker will find the end zone a dizzying amount times? How about one team’s points coming exclusively from the return game? The possibilities truly are endless for this Week 1 matchup.

So without further ado, let’s dive right into my three bold predictions for Monday night’s shootout between the Rams and Raiders. If all goes as I’m expecting, it’ll be a big night for one club and an eye-opener for the other.
