Raiders vs Saints Week 3 TV broadcast map

This week, catching the Raiders game presents a significant challenge for the majority of the country. According to the broadcast map, those outside the Las Vegas or New Orleans region will have to watch something else. The Raiders vs Saints broadcast area is marked in blue. The rest of the nation will be treated to the Ravens vs Cowboys match in Rio De Janeiro, or they can tune into Fox for the 49ers vs Cardinals or Buccaneers vs Vikings games.

California is divided, with Northern California tuning into the 49ers game on Fox in the afternoon and Southern California catching the Chargers in the morning. A segment of the Central Valley will also be able to watch the Raiders game. Nationwide, the broadcast is largely limited to Louisiana and Mississippi. The outcome of this game will determine which team starts the season with a winning record and potentially gain more respect in the broadcast map.

For the Raiders specifically, a victory would result in a 3-0 record, a feat that many didn't believe they could achieve at this stage. This landmark would also match their total wins from the previous season, a number that secured them the top overall draft pick but unfortunately marked the season with zero primetime games.
