Any reason you decided to throw the Raiders in your summary? Just for shade?

Not at all. The Raiders may struggle this year, but they are way better than a 3 win team.

If Jimmy G goes down early in the season, I could see it. Also it's the Raiders, they're almost always worse than the sum of their parts.

I assume because three wins is laughable. I don't think the raiders are in great shape by any means, buts it's almost hard to only win 3 games.

Since '02 we've had two sub-4-win seasons. And eight seasons of 4 or fewer wins, including the year after we went to the Super Bowl.

We've been on the cusp of 3-wins for a third of our seasons over the last 2 decades. Last year we had 6 wins with a playoff team before downgrading.

Maybe 3-wins is a bit of a stretch for expectations. But it would not be at all surprising.

I agree it's possible they end up with three wins. I just don't think it's likely at all.
