While the first half of the season places the Oakland Raiders in the playoff picture, the remaining eight games will decide if the team is worthy of a postseason spot.
The Oakland Raiders have reached the halfway point of the season and there is plenty of excitement surrounding the team. At 4-4 and only a game behind the Indianapolis Colts for the sixth AFC playoff spot, the Raiders enter the second half of the season “in the hunt.”
With the most challenging part of the schedule over, there is plenty of excitement surrounding the second half of the season. According to Tankathon.com, Oakland has the second easiest path to close out the year and only plays one team that currently has a winning record.
A favorable schedule generates a lot of optimism for the Silver and Black, and below is how I see the remaining games unfolding.
