I saw this article... then went looking at their remaining schedule. They have a real shot.


Oakland is certainly in the hunt. Prior to the start of the 2019 season, you would likely find more people betting the Raiders' under win total than their over and you could get great odds if you believed Oakland would make the playoffs. The Raiders' have arguably the easiest remaining schedule in the NFL, as their remaining opponents have a combined record of 22-40. Oakland's next two opponents -- the Bengals and Jets -- are a combined 1-15 heading into the weekend. They have just one remaining game against a team with a winning record -- the Chiefs -- who will host the Raiders in Week 13.

So it's OK for the Raiders to go through a "cupcake" schedule, but not the Rams.

Alrighty, then.

I am one of Gruden's toughest critics. I think he's the most overhyped coach of this decade. But he's doing better than I expected so far. 5-4 isn't great but the Raiders are playing good football, which is more than they've been doing in recent years.

Based on that schedule Da RadaHs have a legit shot at the playoffs.

But they will get stomped pretty bad in the playoffs.

look at their losses.

Looks like Vinny the rat jumped ship to a playoff team after all. Fugetaboutit!
