Ranking Raiders' 2021 NFL schedule in order of difficulty: From on the road at Kansas City Chiefs to ...
With the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2021 regular season schedule set, it’s time to rank the games in order of difficultly. Of course, there are so many unexpected variables in the NFL, but this is what we think will be the hardest and easiest games as we sit here in May looking towards September. Let’s start with the toughest first and count down to what I project will be the easiest.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Our late colleague Terez Paylor might have loved this pick. Bolton is a hammer in the run game who will set a tone with his hard-nosed style. He’s also a strong coverage player with great anticipation skills, even if his shorter frame might not make him a TE-eraser. Still, this feels like theft at this stage, landing a top-50 player and possible early starter here. Bolton makes the two-hour drive down Interstate 70, and the Chiefs get better.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Without the benefit of a first-round pick, the Chiefs have selected two players worthy of top-50 selections. The smart, athletic (and left-handed) Humphrey has a wrestling background and could play at guard if Austin Blythe remains at center. This is a great pull for GM Brett Veach and Co. We like this pick better than the Packers’ center selection.
