Double K's NFL Pre Season Outlook 2015: Oakland Raiders...


Oakland Raiders finished 2014 (3-13, 4th in AFC West, 15th in the AFC)


Team Leaders 2014: Passing QB D.Carr (3270yrds), Rushing RB D.McFadden (534yrds), Receiving WR J.Jones (666yrds), Tackles SS C.Woodson (113 Comb Tack), INT’s SS C.Woodson (4 INT)…


                                                                                   Last year the Raiders were a team that looked like they were poised to take a step forward and instead took one more step back. This team came into last season with a great rookie QB and a team of veterans that seemed ready to make them a dangerous team. The team had a great stretch run and even beat the cross town team the 49ers. But alas finished the season 3-13, so there is a lot of upward movement to be had by this team and this will be the year they do it…

1.       Fri. Aug 14th (vs. St. Louis Rams) (Result: 18-3 Raiders W): The Raiders looked good in this season opening win. The Raiders did play their starters for more snaps than usual but they looked good and got a dominating win over a good Rams team…

2.       Sat. Aug. 22nd (@ Minnesota Vikings) (Result: 20-12 Raiders L): This game was a fun one to watch as the Raiders scored first and it was all Viking from then on. The 1st team offense and defense looked really good but the Raiders still need to find their depth with the rest of the team. I believe they will do better against the Cardinals…

3.       Sun. Aug. 30th (vs. Arizona Cardinals) (Projected Result: 21-17 Raiders W): The Cardinals are a team that can surprise you if you don’t know what’s coming. Only thing is I think that the Raiders will be able to get a early lead and hold off the Cardinals late comeback attempt to get the win…

4.       Thur. Sep. 3rd (@ Seattle Seahawks) (Projected Result: 28-24 Raiders L): This will be the match where both teams will be playing their starters for the bulk of the game. As of right now the Seahawks are just the better team so I see the Raiders putting up a good fight but not getting the win…
