5. Oakland Raiders – Win percentage of 35.7%

Last season, the Raiders were a bit of a joke among fans of the NFL. After trading away two of their former first-round draft picks, they were left struggling to be competitive and ended the season with only four wins.

But the Raiders weren’t always bad. In fact, for many years they were a dominant franchise in the league despite moving to and back from Los Angeles and now looking ahead to Las Vegas. However, one place they seem to have a lot of success is on the field against the Vikings.

In the 14 games played between the two teams, Oakland has won nine of those games, including the game during the 2011 NFL season where the Raiders managed a six-point victory over Minnesota.

Oakland’s future will rest on the success of their draft picks this season. At this point, it is hard to know if they will be competitive or not during the 2019 NFL season, but the Vikings will find that out when they meet up with the Raiders in Week 3 this season.
