How does the OP not have red rep?

CP, I am disappoint.

In your defense Megatron96, it's kind of dumb to list them once as the Chargers and the second time as LA.

I think Bengals and Broncos are easy wins and the Chargers probably split with the Raiders. 7-8 wins is much more likely.

Oakland is mediocre, but their schedule after the next three is pretty pathetic. They could finish 10-6 or better.

The deal is, these game will have more significance if Oakland is actually playing for something. There will be much more pressure on every one. I'm not sure Oakland is ready for that.

I know people here get off on being sophomoric and all, but what's so controversial about this?

Last week the narrative was "Mahomes has no help--we suck! We won't make da playoffs, worst D in NFL history!!"

Now we're not worried about losing him for four games? No one's worried about the defense anymore? All is fixed? Because...they put Flacco on the ground?

The only thing being suggested here is that a semi-decent Oakland might be able to beat some shitbags on their schedule. Again, they don't have to beat a single good team to finish 10-6.

No, but they do have to beat teams when the games count more and that is more pressure. A team needs to learn how to win, before it can count on winning games that it needs to win. I don't think Oakland passes that test and they'll lose a couple that they "should / could" win. I can see them losing several out of Jets, Lions, Chargers, Titans, Jags.

Probably, but they might steal one or two that they shouldn't win.

Regardless, I can envision a scenario where KC finishes 8-8 or 9-7, with Moore at the helm for a month, and games in New England and Chicago down the stretch.

Only way that happens is IF KC loses every game while Mahomes is out. If Mahomes misses 4 games & KC goes 2-2 and loses to NE & Chi - that's 10-6 right there. VERY Doable.

I think 10-6 wins the West and will certainly get a WC b/c the AFC as a whole isn't very deep. 9-7 has a decent chance this year of getting a WC.

Yeah.. It is all kind of silly isn't it?

They could also lose out

Megatron96 · 10-19-2019, 01:45 PM

Maybe I read the OP wrong.

I was only looking at the question in terms of capabilities, not likelihoods, or historical precedents. Just the capabilities of the Raiders and their opponents as constructed this season. Not whether the Raiders would, just could.

Bottom line, they've played enough good games to make me think that they could have a winning season, and MAYBE win 10 games.
