The Oakland team has had an irregular season
The team led by Jack del Río has faced several complications during this season, considering that the game in Mexico City can represent a lot for the Raiders' playoff aspirations.
2017 SEASON
Oakland started the regular season in great form, defeating the Tennessee Titans and the New York Jets. This made it seem like the team would continue to improve and take the lead over Kansas City and Denver in the division race.
However, the Raiders fell into a significant losing streak, suffering four consecutive defeats. This streak was broken with their amazing comeback against the Chiefs in the Thursday night game of week 7.
Nevertheless, after their loss to Buffalo and their victory over Miami, Oakland enters the game at Estadio Azteca with a record of 4-5, which places them as the ninth seed in the American Conference playoff race, below teams like the Dolphins and the Ravens.
Given this, the game for the Raiders is of utmost importance, as a victory at Estadio Azteca would tie their record and bring them closer to the sixth seed in the AFC, hoping that the Ravens lose in their game against the Packers.
