We’ve won on back-to-back Thursday nights! Great success! Let’s keep the streak alive tonight.
Raiders have won three games in a row, largely on the backs of Davante Adams and Josh Jacobs. Might have an outside shot at the playoffs if they can win a bunch down the home stretch, but not likely. They still have games against the 49ers and Chiefs, but KC might be sitting guys in the final week with nothing to play for, while the 49ers might have signed the local high school QB by then. Dare to dream Raider nation!
On the other hand, Rams have nothing to play for at this point. Kupp and Stafford are done for the season and the defense can only stay on the field so long before teams start to break them down. I can only imagine how hard it must be to keep those motivation levels up for the vets that just want to turn the page onto next season and avoid a major injury.
Raiders have something to play for and should be the much, much hungrier team. Taking the Raiders as a 6 point road favourite against the defending Super Bowl Champs! Like you, we didn’t think we would be writing that season either this season.
