    Isn't most of the Raiders fan base still in LA? It'll make no difference to them whether they're in Oakland or Vegas.

    Vegas Golden Knights will be in the NHL from next season.

    Are they moving from a different city ?
    No, new team.
    Takes the NHL to an odd number, so expect another new team to be added soon, probably another Canadian franchise.

    Raiders are a team that have a loyal backing, and I reckon most of their fanbase will follow them to Vegas
    Yet we are in bottom two for percentage of tickets sold for home games

    Why didn't/don't they move the Raiders to LA and the Chargers to Vegas ?

    I think they really wanted the Rams to move back to LA as got history there and St Louis was not working financially so killed two birds with one stone. My understanding is that Chargers were granted an option to also move to LA almost as a way to try and get funding for a new stadium in San Diego but a hotel tax to raise funds from the city failed a public vote.

    Plus Raiders in LA would draw away from Rams return. Raiders in Vegas is probably a bigger draw than Chargers in Vegas too.

    I also think this move by Chargers will flop massively and the NFL owners secretly hope this will force the Spanos family to sell up to new owners, with much deeper pockets who will then fund a new stadium back in San Diego and take them back in a triumphant return. Fans flock back after missing the team for 5 years and everyone is happy again.

    Not looking good for the Packers so far, but a long way to go.

    Atlanta score again and it's all over - bit of a let down if this one is effectively over before half time

    Game over. Can't see any team keeping up with the Falcons, Pats included. Hopefully.

    If Rodgers pulls this off it really will be something. Fair play to the Falcons, they are dominating this game.

    Just makes me bitter about losing last weekend. What could have been if the Cowboys hadn't taken 20 mins to wake up?

    Definitely over now, even Rodgers can't win the game from here.

    Not sure any team could live with the Falcons in this form.

    Didn't see this coming.

    Has Ryan sealed the MVP with this game?
