Oakland Raiders thoughts and bets

[natedogg]

What is the over/under on how many games it takes before Kerry Collins takes over? I think it should be 3.

I believe the Raiders season win total will be a great bet this year, especially if Collins starts on kickoff weekend.
The Raiders have done what they do best this offseason: pick up a bunch of aging but still-effective veterans at good prices, all of whom have something to prove. They are a good mix of young and veteran talent with a coach who may not be perfect but has proven he can build an offense.

I see the AFC West as the weakest division in the AFC if not the NFL. Yes, I know the Chiefs are there but they are just a scary but vulnerable team, not a wall.

Raiders could sneak away with 9 or 10 wins given their soft schedule. I don't know what the season win totals are for this team but I'd be surprised if it's over 8.
