Fantastic to see The Raiders making a statement again after so long in the wilderness. Been my team since the days of the great coach and broadcaster John Madden. Lived in Palo Alto in those days(Mid 70's)....across the bay. My favourite player was Otis Sistrunk (University of Mars)......absolute monster, when Otis nailed you, you stayed nailed! He was the quintessential Raider!
Pats disappointing last night, with a minute to go, 3 yards out with a couple of timeouts you should be able to punch in a TD, especially with a top 3 offense against a pretty meh defensive line.
Can't believe a Pats running back heads the league in touchdowns, but Blount is a beast

I know my boys are having rather a poor season, but looking at our remaining games if we can turnover the Giants tonight I think we will win the division
You have got to play divisional games against Ravens twice and Steelers once though. Could be tight division that one.
Very close. Ravens top at 5-4 (although they've really blown some games), Steelers 4-5 and Bengals could go 4-4 tonight with a win.
I fancy the Ravens +1. That defence is slowly returning and while the offence has struggled at times they've suffered injuries again and look much better with Stanley on the OL. I think I'm correct in saying that they've only won when he's played this year.
Cowboys got the NFC east wrapped up, the battle for a possible wild card spot is tight, if giants lose inky one game between the three if us, eagles failure against division rivals has held us back big time this season

Absolute quality from the skins again. Bring on the cowgirls!
What about the Lions. Trailing in final quarter in all ten matches but 6-4. A real threat to our potential play off hopes. That defeat in the last seconds to them could come back to haunt us.
Haha! Clearly went to bed too early, how did they manage to win that?!
at 10-0 with not much time left, the Rams conceded 2 of the stupidest fouls I've ever seen. Both times, offensive linemen pushing defenders in the back needlessly. Prevented 2 first downs and really killed them.

Absolutely no chance of a win next week - this Dallas side is made of better quality than I've seen in a very long time!

That's not saying much.
Suspect the unfair scheduling may tell against us although you would have lost in week two but for that in zone interception with 3 minutes to go. Cousins has been near flawless since.
I still fancy the Seahawks to beat the Cowboys and win the NFC. Wouldn't rule out the Falcons there either - that defence is improving - although probably nowhere near enough to stop Zeke.
I say this as a Ravens fan but I'd love to see the Raiders win the AFC.
Titans would be entertaining too. Hope they make the playoffs. Mariota has taken it up a level this year.
Green & Bernard both pick up big injuries think the play offs might be a bit of a stretch......although despite being having a horrific season still only 1.5 games behind the Ravens/Steelers and 4 divisional games to go.

It's about time we claimed our place back as the winningest franchise in sport. 10yrs of poor play will soon be forgotten I hope.
