Having spent two seasons with the Denver Broncos, former NFL quarterback Russell Wilson has seen what it takes on a weekly basis what it takes to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes. But that is exactly what he expects the surprise team of the year thus far, the Las Vegas Raiders, to do in their Week 4 game. Coming into the season, most assumed that this season may be a rebuilding year for the Raiders as they let Fernando Mendoza, the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, learn behind veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins early on in the year.
Kirk Cousins has seemingly had other plans, playing excellent football through the first three games of the year and leading the team to upset wins over the likes of the Los Angeles Chargers and the New Orleans Saints each of the last two weeks.

Previewing the game on the CBS NFL pregame show, Russell Wilson made it clear that the Raiders have made a believer out of him, picking the Raiders to upset Kansas City on Sunday.
"I'm calling it right now, there's going to be an upset by the Vegas Raiders and they're going to go 4-0," said Wilson. But how they have played, how consistent. Kirk Cousins has nine touchdowns.

That being said, this Raiders team does certainly look a bit different than Raiders teams of the past.
So it will be interesting to see whether they can back up all of the positive things Wilson mentioned about them on the field on Sunday. Sunday's matchup between the Chiefs and Raiders will kick off at 4:25 p.m.
