Pretty sure I saw on a broadcast a few weeks ago that the Raiders' opponents had the highest combined win percentage in 2006.Also, no such thing as a last-place schedule since most of their games were determined years in advance.

Most importantly, who is starting at RB this week for the 1st place Raiders?

It would be nice if the Raiders could win the division, but all they have shown thus far is that they are better than Cleveland and Miami, and that Tom Cable is a God (New O-line coach).
They are in first place because they are on a bye, and the rest of the AFC West (Moe, Larry, and Curly) is flopping.
I am still looking to 2008. The one thing I am excited about is that they appear to be the only team in their division going in the right direction.
Chargers will win the division. My guess is relatively easily.

Raiders have a chance. A much bigger chance than expected.
Great question. Do you think that if Lamont is healthy he will still be spelled a bit? Do you think he is healthy? Or do you think its going to be Rhodes and Fargas while LJ2 gets healthy?

Bye week news is tough to come by. I don't think anyone has an answer for you.Lamont has a back that has bothered him for a while, and injured it on a harmless looking play. When is he back? I haven't seen an answer. And when he's back, are the Raiders going to just give him the rock? Again, no one knows, but with Rhodes, Fargas, and Bush waiting in the wings, I would expect some kind of RBBC.
I would hate to be counting on Lamont. Bad backs don't go away, and the most minor tweak can sideline a guy in the 1st quarter. I could easily envision a situation where Lamont isn't on the injury list, and leaves a few games early with spasms. Back injuries are fantasy landmines.
Fargas at best is a RBBC guy. He is just too small framed, has an injury history, and doesn't avoid collision. And hey, I like the guy. My guess is the Raiders would prefer to keep him in the 10 carry neighborhood, unless the NFL allows us to play Miami every week.
Rhodes doesn't have Fargas' big play capability, steadiness and ability to play this scheme are his best assets. I could see him varying wildly in his carries. 5 one week, 15 the next. Again, just a guess. If Lamont went down, I don't think the Raiders first choice would be to plug in Rhodes for 20 carries and 4 catches. Fargas would get some looks.
Bush is the wild card, and more of a lottery ticket for this season. It's not even certain that he'll be activated after Week 6. Kiffin made some nice comments about Bush recently, igniting some rather optimistic expectations on Raider message boards. He is certainly big enough to carry the load, but he's coming off a broken leg, we have no idea how he'll take to this scheme, if he can help out in the passing game.

LaMont Jordan and Josh McCown were not present as the Raiders went through warmups and drills preceeding their actual practice.

Um, I don't believe it is possible to win a division without actually winning a divisional game.
It's funny how these Raider fans win one game against an 0-5 Miami team and suddenly they think they have the right to start talking "Division Title".

LaMont Jordan (back) and Josh McCown (feet) missed the portion of Raiders practice that is open to the media Monday.
Derrick Burgess (calf) was at the workout, and looks set to resume starting against San Diego. Jordan would be a weak fantasy play against the Bolts, but make sure he resumes working out this week if you have to use him.

Talk about objectivism.
The AFC West is an incredibly soft division this year, and given how KC, DEN and SD have played this year, it is not unreasonable to assume the Raiders can compete with any of them this year.Looking at the rest of their schedule, I think an 8-8 season is also a reasonable outcome, and again, given how weak this division is looking at this point in time, a few extra wins could indeed help them win the division with a relatively mediocre record compared to other AFC teams.Not saying it's going to happen, but to say that a division title is completely out of reach isn't exactly right, either.

If you did, then they were wrong. SD plays NE and Baltimore while the Raiders play Cleveland and Miami. Other than that, their schedules are the same.
Yes there is. The AFC West plays the AFC South and the NFC North. Then the Chargers get NE and Baltimore, both first in the East and North.The Chiefs get Cin and NYJ, both second in the East and North. The Broncos get Pit and Buf, both third in the East and North.The Raiders get Mia and Cle, both last in the AFC East and North.

Not to mention the Raiders already competed with the Broncos in Denver. That game was very close and the Raiders should beat them at home.Stompin said:Talk about objectivism.The AFC West is an incredibly soft division this year, and given how KC, DEN and SD have played this year, it is not unreasonable to assume the Raiders can compete with any of them this year.Looking at the rest of their schedule, I think an 8-8 season is also a reasonable outcome, and again, given how weak this division is looking at this point in time, a few extra wins could indeed help them win the division with a relatively mediocre record compared to other AFC teams.Not saying it's going to happen, but to say that a division title is completely out of reach isn't exactly right, either.

The football gods will not allow the Raiders to finish first place. It won't happen.

Could you kindly tell me when was last time that Raiders beat an AFC West team?
Rest assured, the Raiders are still the WORST team in the division.

Actually, he's right...technically. When you take into account the overall strength of schedule from 2006. The Chargers have 2 games against the 2-14 Raiders, and the Raider have 2 games against the 14-2 Chargers.

The winds of change are howling, brother.Broncos and Chiefs both look inferior to the Raiders as of the 1st quarter of this season.

Good point, that Raiders / Broncos game IN DENVER was not even close. You are right, this is pretty cut and dry.

Yes, and Shanahan still owns the Raiders. That ain't gonna change.

CHIEFS......are 4-3
Jarrad Page is becoming a Raider killer....intercepted Aaron Brooks last season in the endzone w/ under a minute to play to seal a 4-point win IIRC, and today he intercepts Culpepper with under 1:00 to play to seal a 2 point win.
Oh and BTW, KC has now won NICE in a row against the the Faiders!

Par for the course. The funny part is, the Broncos aren't winning the Super Bowl either. So at the end of the day, both teams will be at home eating Cheetos during the big game, only the Raiders will have a better draft choice. Whatever.
