Raiders: Four teams to root for in Week 12 as playoff race heats up

Jacksonville Jaguars

We continue with our first of two longshots to win on Sunday, but also two teams that could very well pull the upset over teams that are playing mediocre football right now. The Jacksonville Jaguars have no idea who their quarterback will be against the Cleveland Browns, but this is a Browns team that played below average against Philadelphia last weekend, and are primed for a loss.

Judging on how they have played this season, it is crazy that the Browns are sitting at 7-3, and currently in possession of the No. 6 season in the AFC. Las Vegas has already beaten Cleveland this season, so if the Jaguars can take care of business, and the Raiders win, they will both be 7-4, with Las Vegas owning the tiebreaker.

Jacksonville is a atrocious this season, but they do have a solid running back in James Robinson, and some weapons on the outside that can hurt you. Problem is, they will be without star edge rusher Josh Allen, and are terrible against the run, so you can expect a heavy dose of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt in this one.
