Sure we have 5 or so very beatable teams coming up in a row, but those games have to be played, and the Raiders have to show they won't give them away like they did at least 2 games in their 1-4 start.
Still think the Raiders come in 2nd in our division. [Reply]

I believe their rough start doomed them, but wouldn't be surprised to see them win more than they lose down the stretch, especially since the final game against KC may be played against our backups.
I can literally see them losing any one of those games lol [Reply]
The only two teams there I'd pencil in is wins for sure are the Saints and Broncos. Colts might actually look competent with Ehlinger instead of the already decaying corpse of Ryan. [Reply]

I can too.
My bold prediction:
Saints - W
Jaguars - L
Colts - W
Broncos - W
Seahawks - W
Chargers - L
Rams - L
Patriots - W
Steelers - W
49ers - W
Chiefs (if KC starters sit - W, if they play - L) [Reply]

I think we beat the jags, but that looks about like what I'm expecting. Same with the last game of the year against y'all. I just wish it could be against the Chargers again to send them home for the season. [Reply]

Initially I thought the Jags would be a W too since they're pretty dysfunctional right now, but the more I thought about it, I just don't think they've got what it takes to rattle off 5 straight Ws. [Reply]

Yeah, Raiders over 49ers was my boldest prediction of the bunch.
It's so far off that it's nearly impossible to have a good feel for what's going to be going on with either team at that point, but I'm sticking to that one for now. [Reply]
If the Raiders can click they can easily beat the Chargers in Vegas, and even could beat the Chiefs starters in Vegas I feel. We played toe to toe against both in their home stadiums, which for the Chiefs at least is a much more hostile environment than Allegiant(no comment on the Chargers “home crowd”).
49ers game is definitely one I’m worried about down the road. Possibly the Rams and the Hawks too, but neither are especially scary. [Reply]
