The Raiders don't appear to be prioritizing a win in Week 17
The stakes are sky-high for the 2-13 Las Vegas Raiders in Week 17. They'll face the New York Giants on Sunday. The Giants and Raiders currently possess Nos. 1 and 2 overall in the 2026 real-time NFL draft order. The loser will almost certainly clinch the first selection during April's festivities.
The Giants have not owned the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft since 1965. They would take a big step toward that with a loss to the Raiders in Las Vegas.
The Houston Texans ' narrow 23-21 win against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 16 wasn't exactly the prettiest game they've taken on throughout this season, even while the end result wound up falling in their favor for a seventh victory in a row.
If the Raiders beat the Giants, they could fall as low as No. 5 in the draft order. Keep in mind that the Cleveland Browns (No. 3), New York Jets (No. 4), Tennessee Titans (No.5), and Arizona Cardinals (No. 6) are behind Las Vegas (No. 2).
Anyone who has ever been to Las Vegas has lost in Las Vegas. But most casino losers don’t walk away with the grand prize as a reward.
