PREDICTIONS FOR OAKLAND RAIDERS IN 2016:

 

All the diehard Raider fans can finally feel comfortable once again that their team is definitely on the right track. No ifs no maybes no mights to it this team has finally clawed its way back to competing again. It all starts with GM Reggie McKenzie who started rebuilding the team back in 2012. After years of making one big mistake after another the team has finally got someone in the driver seat for once who knows what the hell they are doing and its starting to payoff at last. Slowly but surely over the last few years the team has been methodically rebuilt. 2014 in my opinion is when they finally started to turn the corner choosing Khalil Mack in the 1st round who has turned out to be the defensive leader and QB Derek Carr in the 2nd round who has turned out to be the offensive leader. In 2015 they drafted WR Amari Cooper who is turning out to be not only Carr's go to weapon but also one of the best receivers in the league. During this time GM McKenzie has rebuilt both the defensive and offensive lines with the offensive line regarded as one of the best in football. Bovada has Oakland at 8.5 but i think they win around 10 games. The AFC West this year will most likely be won by either the Chiefs or Raiders in 2016.
