I"m not going to try and predict the stats in games to come because that's extremely difficult. but Ill still predict the score based on the stats I studied and based off past meetings. but lets talk about my Raiders.. I can see this game going two ways which is good and bad if you hear me out.. The first and most obvious story line of this game would be Raiders torch the Jets something on the lines 35-14and thats the bottom floor for Oaklang in my opinion if were talking blowout. with the jets of course getting those 14 in the 4th quarter because of garbage time. the second story line that could happen is the jets are toough and if they're more new found raider haters within the raider nation because of the vegas move we might get a lot of discouragement from the crowd. So I see a no score first qtr from either team Raiders get TD in the 2nd HALFTIME then Jets get a score.. tied 7-7 till the 4th... then I just see Oaklang turning the sauce on and scoring 21 points in the 4th quarter... ending the game 28-7. Which is still a blowout but not the type of blowout everyone is expecting..

Yeah tough fought out game. I did mention the Texans are known to beat the bengals. I think that game had a lot of playoff weight. on who will make the playoffs or who will miss the playoffs. I honestly think a D.Watson lead team in the playoffs with that defense rather than Bengals squeaking in and getting eliminated before they can unpack their bags.

They're going have to establish the running game early so Watson has time to throw.. Watson+Miller

The Texans are the underdog in this feature of teams. The line opened up at +3 I believe.. but now is sitting around +6 against the Bengals on Thursday night football. I don't really care for any of the teams particularly but its a prime time game this year and it could be "interesting" to say the least..
Predictions in game: Bengals Offense Passing yards (295) Rushing yards ( 187) points scored (28) red zone (62%) Touchdowns (4) Texans Offense Passing yards (207) Rushing yard (267) Points scored (20) Red zone (57%) Touchdowns (2) -These two teams are historically known for having slug prime time games.. No one really likes watching the two battle... but I"m sure the fans of those teams could argue the point that I'm wrong. The Texans do however have a good record against the Bengals in recent meetings. However I"m pretty sure Bill O'Brien has a 0-3 record as it goes for Thursday night games. -Both teams have notable injuries more than I feel like writing but look it up. Some players do return that are notable as well... Dec 24 2016 Tex 12 Cin 10 Nov 6 2015 Tex 10 Cin 6 Nov 23 2014 Tex 13 Cin 22 (could be the year Bengals went 12-4.) *Could be wrong comment below if you know for sure* Bengals Defense Fumbles caused (0) Interceptions (3) Sacks (4) Texans Defense Fumbles caused (1) Interceptions (0) Sacks (3) Score prediction: Bengals 28 Texans 23 Like I said above I do think this game could be "interesting" because both sides have injuries so certain players have to step up. please give me your thoughts below.

DENVER still will be solid for four quarters but come up short in a lot of them unless one of the two QBs steps up and have a year like Derek.C had last year before his injury with a handful of 4th qtr comebacks. 1 of the toughest divisions no doubt. RAIDERS I do believe they finally birth as division champions. Get homefield adv in playoffs. And end up playing someone in our division. I think the Broncos if one of the QBs step up big for their team. That be a real good test for the Raiders moving on in the playoffs. But likelyhood is it'll be the Chargers with Rivers having an MVP year. No! They don't go all the way but they do well. All bets will be on Rivers winning his first ring this year. Matty Ice was last year. Rivers this year. Keenan Allen will solidify his role as #1 WR this year and years to come. OAK 11-5 SD 9-7 KC 7-9 DEN 6-10 Will continue to update these rankings all season. |

Especially its very possible KC can drop a game to any of the three in the division.. Even with great coaching from A.Reid.. Home games (excluding div games) Jets W Ravens W Dallas L Giants L Patriots W Away (excluding div games) Titans L Wash L Bills W Dolphins W Eagles W Division Den#1 W Den #2 W L.A #1 W L.A#2 W KC#1 W KC#2 W Will definitely probably change after preseason, these are my thoughts now. |

Redskins aren't going to try and pass in the start of the game.. Why? Because the Raiders won't.. So this game will go with both sides are kept honest. Until Oakland gets away from them.

I'm curious if you go by quarters in the league from a fantasy football prespective. How much is asked for from top players at their position.
Example How many touchdowns should Odell have by week four, ending the first quarter of the season. And it doesn't have to be Odell I'm just saying as a top player at a position. |

I don't want to be... Feel Raiders could have the best offense in the league this year. Beating the or tieing the defending champs. 12-4...

Idk. Denver always plays Oakland tough. They have playmakers on both sides of the field. Oakland might blow them out second go around. But it being third road game before a nice home stretch of games. Also First divisional game of season. Lot of things come into play. But I'm hoping you're right. If I wasn't a bit biased and wouldn't get torched on here for really believing Raiders go 14-2. Pats can only do it cause they're practically unbeatable at home, And their division continues to be trash. Pats go 15-1. Raiders go 14-2. Steelers go 11-5. Big drop and Chiefs come in with 8-8.
NFC side I think it's Seattle at 14-2. Green Bay 12-4. Giants 12-4 . Big drop Vikings 10-6. |

I'm an Oakland fan... But I'm no idiot and thinking this year will be like last year. We were very fortunate, no blessed, with seven 4th qtr comebacks. Derek Carr did amazing things. The line for our season total seem about right. I think they added the pieces on offense because they could potentially had a mediocre year without their new talent. Raiders will still have fourth quarter comebacks this season as well.. No not seven but I'd like to say four 4th quarter comebacks this year. Now which teams are capeable of being ahead going in the fourth...
Week 2 vs The Jets. Yes the jets. for some strange reason I don't believe jets will be that terrible in game as people think. I feel they have a team who's ready to compete. Jets also have a great pass rush. Week 9 vs The Dolphins. This is a team that could control the clock. With Jay Ajay as their vocal point in their offense now I feel this will be a punching match. Week 13 vs The Giants. A easily formidable team that can probably go punch for punch in the scoring category. Week 16 vs Eagles. Eagles picked up a lot solid role players to help Wentz succeed. These games I feel Derek Carr could make fourth quarter comebacks against. There's other teams I feel getting behind would be too difficult to come back so I left off. Those teams above are vulnerable to not playing all four quarters. |

2nd qtr NE 17- OAK 21. 3rd qtr NE 31- OAK 31. 4th qtr NE 37 OAK 38. |

NFL legend John Madden says the worst things in pro football right now is short yardage and goaline offense. Raiders 3rd down % from last three years..
36.32 (2016) 39.09 (2015) 33.90 (2014). I think beast mode greatly increases that for them. Esp 1-5 yard gains, is where he shines most. Particularly in the middle of the field and Goaline offense. Also with the additions of Jared Cook and Cordelle Patterson.. The Raiders 3rd and long situations petecentage increase as well, where Derek Carr shines at.. The deep ball. So I believe they're offense is going to be clicking on all cylinders this year. they'll also have games with mismatches which Oakland never really had for the last 10 + years. I.e Jared Cook a (freak)! Will help their offense by a wide margin. Oakland all black O line one of the if not best in the league continue to grow together. When a brotherhood is formed it's hard to stop it.. I.e (LOB) (GSW) you're seeing it a lot in sports at the highest lv. That O line will be a immovable object with an unstoppable force running behind it. If having almost losing our star QB to an almost career ending injury to create a dynasty oline and instill the mentality of inmovable object or a wall etc.. Then I'll gladly take that constilation prize, Like Draymmd Green said.. Just the whole process of Oakland being talked about as an elite team of the league is hype itself. But in my eyes the only two elite teams in the league are Seattle and New England. |

Oakland will be top 3 in Offense this year. Defense they'll be top 12. AC~DC are going to do amazing things this year. Enough to carry them through a tough schedule. 12-4 again. Four losses is the number if you're a really good team. Two you're a great team and you're most likely the Patriots.
My point is taking Raiders chances of losing more than three are slim. Four is home in my opinion. So those three loses are going to come from prob one on the road. One from the NFC division.. They're entire division has playmakers who are top in the league.. And one prime time game. (If necessary ) if we don't sweep the division then add one more. I always update my opinion because I'm always brought to new information. But I honestly think Oakland upsets the entire league in winning so many games and making deep run in playoffs. Losing in the Super Bowl vs The New York Giants. |
