The Aces — who are 13-1 with a point differential of plus-215 — host fellow title contender New York on Thursday night at Michelob Ultra Arena.
UNLV’s basketball team is suddenly defending again, which was good enough to beat rival UNR 68-62 on Saturday night.
Raiders quarterback Derek Carr ranks 26th in passer rating in the NFL and has thrown a league-leading 14 interceptions. Such numbers don’t warrant a starting job.
There seemed to be a disconnect between Marcus Arroyo and several boosters, local high school football coaches, some members of the town’s media corps and maybe even his boss.
It was another win where depth scoring showed for the Knights, with goals from each of the top three lines in a 4-0 victory against Anaheim.
A schedule that softens the next four weeks should allow the Raiders to rally from a 2-4 record and put themselves in position for an eventual run at the playoffs.

The only correct result would be the Golden Knights and Colorado Avalanche meeting in a second-round NHL playoff series to decide the West Division champion.
The Raiders have far too many other needs than to worry about dealing for one of the NFL draft’s elite quarterback prospects.
The news of Thursday’s postponement came two days after a member of the Golden Knights’ coaching staff tested positive for COVID before the team hosted the St. Louis Blues.
