Lastest sheet ranks him at #7 QB. He's at Oakland this week and Oakland is #9 in passing defense giving up 193 YPG and 15 TDs.
In contrast, Tyler Thigpen is at home against SD who is #30 in passing defense giving up 264 YPG and 20 TDs. He is listed as the #18 QB on the latest sheet.
Is there something else there that led to this ranking this week? Weather should be better in Oakland than in KC, but the Raiders' pass D isn't that bad, is it?
Maybe Moss going back to Oakland to face his former team?
I have Cassel in one playoff game and trying to decide if he's the guy. I do not have Thigpen, just used him as a contrasting example.
Thanks.

"One day after his father died in a car accident,[31] Favre decided to play in a December 22, 2003 Monday Night Football game against the Oakland Raiders. Favre passed for four touchdowns in the first half and 399 total yards in a 41–7 victory over the Raiders on international television (even receiving applause from "Raider Nation"). Afterwards, Favre said, "I knew that my dad would have wanted me to play. I love him so much and I love this game. It's meant a great deal to me, to my dad, to my family, and I didn't expect this kind of performance. But I know he was watching tonight."[32] He was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week for his performance.[33] He then went to his father's funeral in Pass Christian, Mississippi. Favre won an ESPY Award for his Monday Night Football performance.[34]"
ONE, is much too small of a sample size. I'm sure there's been others, but I don't know and it was more of a dig at the fact that the Raiders have sucked, as a whole for over 1/2 decade.I am actually favoring the Raiders in this one. Pats are VERY busted up, and have spent a week and a half across the country from thier facilities, homes, families, equipment and resources. I like the Raiders for the upset... you can check my playoff calculator.
