Raiders: Four teams to root for in Week 12 as playoff race heats up
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Yes, I am asking you to root for Tom Brady, but hear me out first. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are taking on the Kansas City Chiefs at home in Week 12, and despite the Raiders losing to the Chiefs this past weekend, they still have a legitimate chance to catch them in the AFC West due to the fact Kansas City has a tough track moving forward.
This, and the Steelers game, are the two likely games to root for this weekend that actually will likely play in the Raiders favor. Brady has the weapons at his disposal to beat Patrick Mahomes and company, and they also have the talent on defense to make life comfortable for the Chiefs star in the passing game.

Another game to keep an eye on this weekend is the Tennessee Titans taking on the Indianapolis Colts with first place in the AFC South on the line. The loser of that game falls to 7-4, and right in the mix in terms of the Wild Card, so we will get a clearer picture of where the Raiders stand by Sunday Night Football in Week 12.
