The Patriots are thin at DE right now which is tough. They have a very good secondary though, with McCourty, Gilmore, and Butler all being pro-bowl/All-Pro players. I trust the way Belichick schemes, and just like every season, health is a major factor as well. The Raiders have the offensive potential to do some serious damage this year,.
As I mentioned before, any given Sunday really does apply in the NFL, but I honestly think the Raiders would need to win home-field to be able to take out the Patriots (not talking Mexico City, although that could determine home-field) because winning in New England during January is daunting.
Do you guys think the Raiders definitely win the division, or do you think there's a chance Denver or the Chiefs could take it?
Chiefs are our threat. They always seem to have our number.
Were better than Denver
