It took Peyton Manning just one play to put on his Nostradamus hat and predict how the Las Vegas Raiders' campaign will be at the of the 2021 NFL season. The Hall of Famer had his eyes glued on the Raiders' first play of the season against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday and, according to Manning who was on the ESPN broadcast with his brother Eli Manning, a botched play between QB Derek Carr and TE Darren Waller was all he needed to see.
After watching the play, the five-time MVP had this to say about what he thinks the Raiders' record will be at the end of the regular season:
“This is going to tell me everything I need to know,” Peyton told Eli while watching the snap (via Complex Sports). After Carr's pass was incomplete, Manning basically had it all figured out, “We're looking at 6-11 right now.”

That was pretty savage from Peyton. But unfortunately, you can't really blame the legendary QB after the Las Vegas' form as of late. For the past few seasons, the franchise has failed to figure things out as they've struggled to make the postseason. They've only managed to reach the playoffs once (2016) in the past two decades.
Last season, they finished with an 8-8 record which was actually their best winning percentage in the past four seasons. After a huge overtime win over the Ravens in Week 1, the Raiders are off to a hot start this 2021 and they're hoping to prove all their haters, including Peyton Manning, wrong.
