I expected Oakland to fall back to earth this year...I didn't expect them to be this terrible. Too bad they dont announce a Vegas move/new stadium every season....
NFL is pressing parity hard this year...they really dont want the Raiders season to be essentially over by game seven. It why KC had the late game/Thursday flip...it was designed to put the Chiefs at a disadvantage. That didn't happen by accident...KC has two days to prepare then fly 2 time zones. Chiefs are going to have to beat injuries, fatigue and the refs on Thursday...Oakland still has a Mexico game against Terrific Tom, the League doesn't want it to be meaningless.

When the schedule was written, there was no way that the league knew that the Faiders would be 2-4 going in. Now, if you had said that the league gave that advantage to the Faiders because they expected them to be fighting for the division lead, and that it just worked out that the advantage is needed to salvage their season instead, that would have been almost believable. But, instead, you changed the narrative to fit the situation, and you did it poorly.
