Raider Melancholy

The Silver and Black got wiped all over the field at McAffee last weekend. Though they have fallen to 1 -2 this preseason, I have high hopes for the Raiders this year.

Russell looks like he's struggling, but Kiffin will open up the playbook more with time, giving the young quarterback a chance to show off his improvisational skills. The receivers performance will follow.

The McFadden-Bush tandem should lead the division in rushing, and the defense looks solid. Our wildcards are special teams and offenseive line.

My prediction is 8 - 8. The division in markedly weaker, and we play the NFC south. Eight wins represents high hopes, but it's definitely not a stretch.

Division winners:
AFC North- Steelers
AFC East- Patriots
AFC West- Chargers
AFC South- Jaguars

NFC North- Lions
NFC East- Eagles
NFC West- Cardinals
NFC South- Saints

Other predictions:
The Giants won't make the playoffs
The Patriots won't make the Superbowl
The AFC Champs will come out of the South

Go ahead...argue with me.
