Two teams that each unexpectedly finished with fewer wins than losses in 2017 hope to see resurgences in the upcoming National Football League campaign, as the Oakland Raiders who won just six games last year, per Pro Football Reference , host the NFC’s Green Bay Packers who finished at 7-9 just a year removed from a season that saw them make it all the way to the NFC conference finals game, in a clash that will live stream Friday night from Oakland.
The game will mark the third time in the past five years that Green Bay and Oakland have met in the preseason, after games in 2014 and 2016, according to the Packers website. With Friday’s game being the third of the four-game preseason schedule, starting quarterbacks for both teams would generally be expected to see their longest stints of the preseason so far. But for the Packers, 34-year-old Aaron Rodgers will likely sit the game out, according to a report by Forbes .
Rodgers has barely played at all over the first two games, sitting out Week One, and in Week Two, a 51-34 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers as the NFL website reports, the six-time Pro Bowl signal caller tossed just four times for a pair of completions — including a touchdown.
Instead, third-year quarterback Brett Hundley , out of UCLA, will battle for the prime backup slot with former Notre Dame signal caller DeShone Kizer , who is in his second year, but first with Green Bay since coming over from the Cleveland Browns.

On the Oakland side, returning Coach Jon Gruden expects to play his starting quarterback Derek Carr into the second quarter of Friday night’s game, according to the East Bay Times .
