Oakland is mediocre, but their schedule after the next three is pretty pathetic. They could finish 10-6 or better.
Maybe. The coin flips are GB, DET, and LAR. GB's run D isn't what we were led to believe, but Aaron Rodgers is Aaron Rodgers. DET is proving to be a lot better than people thought at the beginning of the season. They will be a tough out for the Raiders. The Rams can be explosive, but have under-performed so far. That defense can be the best in the league, but they are just as unpredictable as their offense in recent weeks.
The game that might tilt things is the Lions game. The teams are built in a similar way, based on a tough run game with good TEs, and punishing defenses. It might come down to how many injuries DET inflicts on the Raiders. And the Raiders are thin in several positions to begin with. [Reply]
