Fourth-year cornerback Nate Hobbs is a key ingredient to a Raiders defense that could rank among the NFL’s best this season.

Las Vegas Raiders news from training camp through the NFL season, including videos, podcasts, and coverage of Allegiant Stadium. From the Vegas Nation team.
This week’s questions from Raiders fans include the state of the quarterback competition and how long it will take the offense to master the new scheme.
Raiders coach Antonio Pierce said his players could decompress after the team’s mandatory minicamp this week, but he doesn’t want them to stop working.
The Raiders’ defense was one of the NFL’s best down the stretch last season. They could be even better this year.
The gutless call by the Cowboys coach to kick a field goal with 6:04 left essentially cost Dallas the game in a 13-9 loss and cost countless New England bettors a cover.
New England is the team that America loves to hate but it also loves to bet on the Patriots, who easily covered the 18½-point spread in a 43-0 road rout of the Dolphins.
In general, it’s wise to back teams with quarterback competitions and coaches motivated to win, including those in their first year with a team.
