The pendulum on my predicting Raiders games has officially swung the other direction. After starting the season 0-4 in my Raiders picks, I am 4-0 over the last four games. And it has helped me creep back to second in the staff prediction standings. Don't call it a comeback, I've been here for years.
That being said, if my prediction for this week's game turned out to be wrong, I wouldn't mind at all.
I didn't have the best record last week. That honor goes to Marcus and Asher. Another (damn) tie meant we only got 12 games that counted toward the total again. Jeff was the only one to pick Washington to beat the Bengals in that one. His other rogue picks hurt him, especially taking the Jags to beat the Titans.
As a staff, we were 4-2 in unanimous picks. This week we all have the Falcons, Cowboys, Chiefs, Saints, Packers, and Seahawks.
