This is based on things being equal and all teams being healthy with injuries factored in this because that is to big of a variable to predict.
Monday, September 10 SAN DIEGO CHARGERS 7:15 p.m. ESPN Win 1-0
Revenge and fired up with the new regime we dominate SD in the opener. Palmer will come out smoking! He gave us a chance to go to the playoffs last year. This year the the defense responds.

The jinx is over and we blow out Miami the team is still fired up and are not distracted in Miami!
Sunday, September 23 PITTSBURGH STEELERS 1:15 p.m. CBS Loss 2-1
This will be a great game that is winnable game for logic sakes lets just list it as a loss.
Sunday, September 30 at Denver Broncos 1:05 p.m. CBS Loss 2-2
For arguments sake we are gonna split the AFC West games except for SD ending up 4-2 in the division.For arguments sake we are gonna be 3-5 on the road. Last year and the Raiders went 5-3. 3 wins on the road seems reasonable.Last year the Raiders went 6-6 against the AFC while giving one away in Buffalo and laying an egg in Miami.This year the raiders are going to be 8-4 against the AFC. Home we were 3-5 that trend in going to changes this year. The Raiders go 6-2 The energy form Raider nation will finally pay off.

Sunday, October 14 at Atlanta Falcons 10:00 a.m. CBS Win 3-2
Away teams playing after a bye.
Wins 126,losses 141 for 47.2%. Expected margin of defeat was 1.7 points,actual was 0.8 points.
Compared to away teams playing having played the previous week.
Wins 1298,losses 1853 for 41.2%. Expected margin of defeat was 2.7 points,actual was 2.6 points.
We will never have a better chance to win a road game even with the limited practices in the new CBA we can still pull off a solid win.
Sunday, October 21 JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS 1:15 p.m. CBS Win 4-2
Gabbert is just not developed enough and they are under drastic changes.
Sunday, October 28 at Kansas City Chiefs 1:05 p.m. CBS 4-3
Winnable just keeping with the parameters of splitting with KC
Sunday, November 4 TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS 1:05 p.m. FOX WIN 5-3
Tampa Bay came out to the west coast and got rolled I'm not sure they have done enough to change their recent down turn. They are experiencing a fair amount of upheaval. Raiders win convincingly!
Sunday, November 11 at Baltimore Ravens 10:00 a.m. CBS Loss 5-4
Logic says this is a loss in a tough 2 game stretch
Sunday, November 18 NEW ORLEANS SAINTS *1:05 p.m. FOX Amazing game Loss 5-5
Using the same logic as above, at this point in the season Brees is usually on fire! So we will mark it as a loss.
Sunday, November 25 at Cincinnati Bengals *10:00 a.m. CBS 6-5
After 2 losses the troops rally up and bust the Bungles in the chops Carson lights up the Bungles!.
Sunday, December 2 CLEVELAND BROWNS *1:15 p.m. CBS 7-5
If you want to be a playoff team you need this one and there is a small revenge factor for what Fujita did to our season last year.
Thursday, December 6 DENVER BRONCOS 5:20 p.m. NFLN WIN 8-5
The other half of the split Sea Bass kicks the game winner for 61 yards at sea -level
Sunday, December 16 KANSAS CITY CHIEFS *1:15 p.m. CBS WIN 9-5
The win in the split although we could win both against KC
Sunday, December 23 at Carolina Panthers *10:00 a.m. CBS Lose 9-6
After 4 wins in a row we have a let down east coast roadie.
Sunday, December 30 at San Diego Chargers *1:15 p.m. CBS WIN 10-6
See week 1, same result! San Diego is a late season fodder we just need to finish what we started week.
This in my opinion is not that big of a stretch we can win 10 games and have a shot for the playoff. Harbaugh's a tough minded coach and he made a huge impact this year it's the Raiders turn. Dennis Allen will have these guys ticking like a fine timepiece and it's about time.
