I'll admit it...I'm a Raider Hater...but I am also objective...Honest!
So let's go game by game:
2008 Scores and Schedule
Regular Season
Mon 9/8 Denver 10:15 pm Raiders likely win-Denver's a mess 1-0
Sun 9/14 at Kansas City 1:00 pm Raiders never fare well in KC-loss 1-1
Sun 9/21 at Buffalo 1:00 pm similar teams on both sides, but road game...loss 1-2
Sun 9/28 San Diego 4:05 pm San Diego has the Raiders number-loss 1-3
bye
Sun 10/12 at New Orleans 1:00 pm tough game- one's strength is other weakness, but it's a road game-loss 1-4
Sun 10/19 NY Jets 4:15 pm Jets don't do well on West Coast-win 2-4
Sun 10/26 at Baltimore 1:00 pm another tough one-depends who BAL has QBing, since on road-loss 2-5
Sun 11/2 Atlanta 4:15 pm Raiders get to the soft creamy center-win 3-5
Sun 11/9 Carolina 4:05 pm see above-win 4-5
Sun 11/16 at Miami 1:00 pm finishing up on the cupcakes-win 5-5
Sun 11/23 at Denver 4:05 pm playoff talk scuttled-loss 5-6
Sun 11/30 Kansas City 4:15 pm One last gasp before reality-win 6-6
Thu 12/4 at San Diego 8:15 pm Reality hits-loss 6-7
Sun 12/14 New England 4:15 pm BOHICA -loss 6-8
Sun 12/21 Houston 4:05 pm Houston is the sleeper of '08-loss 6-9
Sun 12/28 at Tampa Bay 1:00 pm Chucky's revenge-loss 6-10
Even if I'm generous 8-8 is probably the best they can do, which in the Raiders case would for them be "winning".
