Oakland gets first win?

I think they have a very good shot at going 0-16. I know it is even hard to go winless just like it is to go undefeated. But this Raiders team is just that pitiful. I would be very surprised if they won a game.

Arizona coming to Oakland this weekend. I can't wait to see what two Fox announcers are assigned to that crap game. Somehow I think Bill Maas is booking his ticket to Oakland.

I'm with looker, throw out the trends with the Raiders, they are pathetic and in total disarray. Only 9-10 guys on that team play with any energy at all, it's basically a parade of laggards they bring out onto the field every week.

oh god, what a shitty game we have here. LOL

I don't see the raiders winning this game at all this week. I know zona can't hold a lead this year, but the "Faiders" are just the worst team in the leauge by leaps and bounds this year.

Once the Cardinals turn the corner they'll suddenly be one of the better teams in the league for a long time to come. These are just birth pangs. Before the butterfly pops out there's some mental cobwebs to be cleared in the ol' coccoon. Cards will be allright.

Completely agree. You can see they have talent and they hit the jackpot with Leinhart. The only thing stopping me from betting them hard this week against Oakland is the way they lost that game on Monday night and the mental and emotional letdown that may linger into this game. The way I see it, one of two things will happen here; the Cards will either come in and destroy the Raiders, or they will fold and lose in convincing fashion. That’s too erratic for my money.

I truly believe that Raiders go winless this season.

I liked Arizona at first, but now I think Oakland will hang tough. Just remember, the loves betting against Oakland now, so I think the Raiders are the way to go.

I _really_ like Oakland to win this game.
It's one of the VERY few games that that team can win.
Zona has played far worse than their record (sorry, they field a bottom 3 offensive line, if not worse).

If there's one team that gets it done when they have a legit shot, it's the Raiders.
Square gut call here, but no way I'm getting my money in on Zona, even with Walter, who is freakin AWEFULL, playin QB. Leinart isn't a whole hevlua lot better - he just happens to have 2 pro-bowl (not elite) WRs - and 1 of them is out.
GG, zona, Oakland gets it done, IMO.
If they don't, then they get their 1 win somewhere else - against SOME team that I bet on the ML.

Game five or later winless home teams are now 10-1 SU and 10-1 ATS the past 4 years.

Just won baby!

Who was the last winless team in NFL history?

Seattle Slew · 10-22-06, 10:28 PM

Think it was Tampa Bay in their first season 0-14? No one else ever went winless for a season.

Checkerboard · 10-22-06, 10:46 PM

You're right Seattle Slew it was TB in their inaugural year
in a 14 game regular season . . .

After one particularly bad game the coach was asked his feelings regarding his offensive line's execution that day to which he responded, 'I'm in favour of it.':
