The Review-Journal’s Matt Youmans, Las Vegas radio host Bernie Fratto and Golden Nugget sports book director Tony Miller preview the Raiders’ season in the 29th of a series of 32 NFL team videos:

The Raiders are a trendy pick as a team on the rise, but they face a brutal schedule with five trips east in the first eight weeks. Is the road schedule too much to overcome?
How strong is the Oakland defense? Khalil Mack, second in the league with 15 sacks last season, is a legitimate force.
Derek Carr, who passed for 32 touchdowns in his second season, is being hyped as one of the league’s top young quarterbacks. He has big-play wideouts in Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree. Is Carr ready to become a star?
The Raiders open the season Sunday as 1-point underdogs at New Orleans.
Over or Under 8½ regular-season wins?

Check out the video above.
