Tom Brady - English
Tom Brady‘s project as a minority investor in the Las Vegas Raiders is poised to start on a high note. During the offseason, the organization has made numerous moves to reshape the team, setting it apart from recent years. This has sparked enthusiasm and expectations among fans, and it could even be said that everyone is committed to the vision being cultivated under this new management.

However, for this to translate into success, a victory right at the start is crucial-a statement win to send a message across the NFL.
Las Vegas Raiders 2025: The Dawn of a New Era
For the first time in a long while, there’s hope for the Raider Nation. Players have been vocal in praising the new administration, and Pete Carroll has kept his team focused.
Under this scenario, expectations are high for the Raiders to kick off the 2025 NFL season with a bang, starting with a win against Tom Brady’s former team, the New England Patriots.
The Las Vegas Raiders vs. New England Patriots matchup will take place on the road, a significant test since the last time these two teams met in 2023, the Raiders won at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
This game also marks the return of Jakobi Meyers to Gillette Stadium, making it one of the most anticipated games of Week 1. With Meyers in the final year of his contract, he’ll be motivated to deliver a strong performance.
With a healthier roster, attention will turn to the Raiders’ defense and how it handles the Patriots’ offense. However, one of the biggest draws for fans is the debut of rookie running back Ashton Jeanty.
The former Boise State star is expected to revamp the Raiders’ running game, which was statistically the worst in the NFL 2024 season. The Patriots’ defensive line poses a tough challenge, and this matchup will be an early gauge of Jeanty’s impact potential.
On the other side, in his sophomore season, Drake Maye could struggle if his offensive line fails to protect him against elite defenders like Christian Wilkins and Maxx Crosby.
This game is shaping up to be a chess match between two franchises looking to reestablish themselves as AFC playoff contenders. It will serve as a critical test for the Las Vegas Raiders’ playoff hopes in 2025.
