In the last game of NFL preseason week one, the Minnesota Vikings will travel to the state of Nevada to face off against the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant stadium. This game will be available on the NFL net work for Monday Night football. The Las Vegas raiders have already played a preseason game in Canton, Ohio at the Hall of Fame game in which they were victorious against the Jacksonville Jaguars. 

Minnesota has yet to see a preseason game and will have Myron Mitchell questionable for this matchup against the Raiders. Kirk cousins will probably not see a lot of action in this game along with star running back Dalvin Cook however the Minnesota offense is more than capable enough to hang around in depth.

For the Las Vegas raiders, Nick Mullins, Jared Stidham, and Chase Garbers will get most of the snaps under center at the quarterback position without star tied and Darren Waller who is on the injured list. Derek Carr, the starting quarterback for Las Vegas will probably play the first series, or the first two series of the game.

Minnesota has interesting backup quarterbacks in Sean Mannion whom never really got a chance in Los Angeles. And Texas A&M drafty Kellen Mond who in college lit up the scoreboard before being drafted by Minnesota.

With the depth at the quarterback position, and Las Vegas already playing a preseason game and winning it, we see the Las Vegas raiders coming away with a victory at home in this matchup. Final Score Prediction: Las Vegas Raiders win by the score of 24–17.
