AFC West Week 15 predictions: Raiders win final Oakland home game
By Brad Weiss
Jacksonville Jaguars at Oakland Raiders
In the very last home game in the Bay Area for the Raiders franchise, the Silver and Black will play host to Gardner Minshew and the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Both teams are coming off embarrassing losses in front of their home fans in Week 15, and for the Jags, the trip West will prove to be too much.
Jacksonville allowed 45 points to Philip Rivers and the Chargers last weekend, and while the Raiders won’t go that far, they should at least go over 30 for the first time all season. Derek Carr plays his final home game in front of the Oakland faithful and brings back his 2016 form, picking apart the Jaguars secondary and leading the Raiders back to .500.
The Silver and Black will come away with the victory in front of the home crowd in this one, and hopefully, both the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennessee Titans lose to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. The Coliseum will certainly be rocking on Sunday afternoon, and they will get a strong performance from their beloved Raiders on both sides of the ball.
