RazorStar 4,025 Posted November 28, 2011 It's nice to think so, but the Raiders don't really have that many losable games left on their schedule. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllYouNeedIsLovie 377 Posted November 28, 2011 I'm going with the Raiders too. Before I said Chargers, but they are in too big of a hole now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
badgers 380 Posted November 28, 2011 It's gotta be the Raiders. All the other teams have an issue of some sort at QB. Rivers is playing like shit, Palko IS shit (let's see how Orton does), and Tebow can't throw the ball. But he does win, I'll give him that. But it's not enough to beat out Carson Palmer who is actually competent and can move it through the air. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JetsFan4Life 542 Posted November 28, 2011 It's nice to think so, but the Raiders don't really have that many losable games left on their schedule. Yeah but to be fair four of these last five games for the Broncos can be looked at as fairly winnable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
housemd 338 Posted November 28, 2011 I think it's gonna be Raiders...although Broncos might surprise in the rest of their games.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AL_Royalty 489 Posted November 28, 2011 This is painful to say, but it's going to be the Raiders. They have the division lead now, winnable games to close out the season, and they're just the overall best team in the division. Puke, yuck, bleh. I said it. Raiders win it, but I'm rooting for the Denver Tebows. Double yuck. I'd love to say that the Chiefs still have a chance, but I just don't see it, and the Chargers keep losing in the division.

BwareDWare94 723 Posted November 28, 2011 Oakland definitely. They're turning into a damn juggernaut, man. Carson Palmer has a million weapons and will soon have two very good running backs. Not to mention that defense is playing very well. Aaron Curry is a GREAT pickup right now. He's smart as hell out there. This team is going to be scary in the playoffs. I won't call them my Super Bowl favorite, but Carson Palmer has quickly turned them into a Super Bowl dark horse team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiLaSix9+ 398 Posted November 28, 2011 I'm going with the Raiders. Winning team with a great rushing attack. Once they get back DMC they'll be even better. I don't see the Broncos with Tebow under center and an overachieving defense take the reigns. Chargers are done as are the Chiefs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rleon 4 Posted November 28, 2011 Looking at the Raiders schedule..think they die off for the rest of the year..Broncos all the way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BC 331 Posted November 29, 2011 Oakland will get Darren McFadden back soon, they're winning this division. What if they still had Nnamdi Asomugha? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AL_Royalty 489 Posted November 29, 2011 Oakland will get Darren McFadden back soon, they're winning this division. What if they still had Nnamdi Asomugha? If they had Nnamdi? He'd be getting picked on like he is in Philly, and they'd be giving up big plays in the passing game. Who saw Nnamdi playing like this for the 2011 season?

AL_Royalty 489 Posted December 8, 2011 Well, I took the Chiefs earlier in the year, so I have to roll with them until they're absolutely eliminated. As of now, they have as much of a shot as any other team in this division. If the Chiefs can take care of business against the Jets this week—which I actually expect them to do the way the defense has been suddenly all over every QB they play and them going up against Sanchez—then it's up to division play. We all play each other to close out the season. This thing won't be over until the end of business, week 17. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanatos 2,847 Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) It's gotta be Denver as the favorites at this point. Oakland dropping the game to Miami really really hurts them, not just because they are now tied with the Broncos, but because Denver beat the Fins earlier in the year, (Tebow's first start). The way the schedule is looking, it's either Denver or Oakland. But I still would not count out San Diego, they have caught fire before at the right time, and if they win out, they would need Oakland to drop one more game, and Denver to drop two, (they played Oakland once, so they can make them drop one, but they still need them to drop another).

ATL_Predator+ 1,196 Posted December 9, 2011 If they had Nnamdi? He'd be getting picked on like he is in Philly, and they'd be giving up big plays in the passing game. Who saw Nnamdi playing like this for the 2011 season? ...He's in a totally different system than what he was in with Oakland. Not saying he's declined, but it's not all on him. Anyway, I see the Raiders winning the division with Run DMC getting hot when he comes back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanatos 2,847 Posted December 9, 2011 I just don't see Oakland winning with the schedules they and Denver have: W14: vs. Bears - Pretty easy win with Hanie in for Cutler, and no Matt Forte. W15: vs. Patriots - This could go either way, I'd say an easy loss, but New England doesn't normally play well in Denver. W16: @ Bills - Most likely a win with the Bills horrid rush defense, and without Fred Jackson. W17: vs. Chiefs - Most likely a win for obvious reason. W14: @ Packers - Pretty obvious loss. W15: vs. lions - Definite advantage to Detroit here, especially if DMC isn't back yet. W16: @ Chiefs - Probably a win. W17: vs. Chargers- Could go either way, if the Chargers win over Jacksonville wasn't a fluke. And the Raiders have to end up with a better record, they will lose the tiebreak to Denver almost certainly. After this week, it's pretty much a given Oakland is going to be 7-6, and I'd bet money Denver is going to be 8-5. I just think the Raiders had to have that game in Miami and they lost the division when they got blown out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RazorStar 4,025 Posted December 9, 2011 I really don't think Chicago qualifies as an easy win, we haven'texactly been favoured to win a game this year... No longer being the underdogs could be a mental thing, and you don't want a team to have a mental thing against a defense like the Bears... who are still pretty damn good last I checked. We need a good game from our tight ends, and Fells just does not fit this new look scheme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We need a good game from our tight ends, and Fells just does not fit this new look scheme. I was looking at it from the other perspective. Denver's defense against a Chicago offense led by Caleb Hanie and without Matt Forte? The Bears will be lucky to get a couple of first downs. And you guys were favored in the Minnesota game, barely.

RazorStar 4,025 Posted December 10, 2011 forgot about the Packers honestly. I just remembered the Lions, Chargers and Chiefs. It'd be a different scenario if the Raiders beat the Dolphins but hey whatevs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
