## Resource

The Raiders 2026 schedule is a rest disadvantage nightmare, with a net thirteen fewer rest days than opponents, ranking them third worst in the league. Last year, they had a nineteen-day disadvantage. This year, they face teams coming off byes three times, all on the road, resulting in a seven-day rest deficit. Research shows a significant rest difference impacts game outcomes, and the Raiders have three of those seven-day disadvantages. The NFLs scheduling is becoming more unbalanced, with the gap between most and least-rested teams growing. The Chargers have an even bigger rest disadvantage, but the Raiders get a break after their bye week when they play them. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
