It’s not a stretch to say the Raiders radio broadcast this season has been seriously lacking. This offseason the Raider radio network fired longtime radio voice Greg Papa and dug up 79-year-old former color commentator Brent Musburger to take over in the booth alongside former Raiders tackle Lincoln Kennedy.
It hasn’t been a popular move.
Commentators are often disliked by the viewing/listening public. Being a play-by-play person is not an easy job. But Musburger has drawn considerable...
As we discussed Wednesday, there are three clear favorites for where the Raiders will play their home games next season. Oddsmakers have confirmed those favorites by putting those locations atop their odds, starting with Oakland. There are a great many others after that and it gets pretty interesting.
Here are the odds for the Raiders’ 2019 home courtesy of BetDSI:
Oakland +120
San Diego +250
Santa Clara +400
Phoenix +500
Seattle +1000
San Antonio +1000
Portland +1500
Memphis +2000

Greetings, Raider Nation! It was a wild and crazy Week 14 that saw the Titans blow out the Jaguars, the Chiefs and Chargers not cover the spread, the Raiders upset the Steelers and the Patriots lose in the most satisfying way possible. All this added up to a pretty poor week for the staff pickers, with the best record being 10-6 from Tyler Green and myself having the worst record at 6-10. Here are the spreads for this week:
Chargers at Chiefs -3.5
Texans -6.5 at Jets
Browns at Broncos -3
Sundays have been a little bit more fun lately. The Oakland Raiders are playing competitive football and are actually producing impressive fantasy numbers at certain positions.
Derek Carr turned in another stud performance with over 300 yards and two touchdowns. He looks like he has turned a corner in Jon Gruden’s offense. If Carr continues his recent play to finish the year, he could become a starting fantasy quarterback once again in 2019.
Jared Cook, Seth Roberts and Jordy Nelson have...

Imagine that! Beating a playoff caliber team with a winning record has a big effect on the power rankings. That’s been made obvious after every outlet we cover has given the Raiders a higher spot on their power rankings after Oakland’s improbable upset of the Pittsburgh Steelers. There are still a few rankings that have the Raiders nearly at the bottom but overall the win against Pittsburgh has been met with considerable praise across the board.

On Sunday, the Raiders will head to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals, who have problems of their own to be sure. Their starting quarterback is out for the year, and they have floundered this year en route to a 5-8 record.
But even so, their defense deserves some respect for even getting them this far, and quarterback Derek Carr has turned to his defensive coordinator, former Bengals DC Paul Guenther, and his backup quarterback AJ McCarron for help in preparing for their former team this...
Raiders quarterback Derek Carr acknowledged that it's "just weird" dealing with the possibility the team might be playing its final game in Oakland on Christmas Eve.
Rodney Hudson is starting to feel mighty lonely. He’s been watching his fellow interior linemen drop like flies of late. First Kelechi Osemele went down for the second time this week, he was replaced by Jon Feliciano who then also got injured, and Gabe Jackson went down as well.
In the Raiders’ first practice in preparation for the Bengals, Feliciano has been placed on injured reserve, and both Kelechi Osemele and Gabe Jackson did not practice.
That puts the Raiders deep into their...
And playing in Oakland is still an option.
It’s been a...let’s just say, newsworthy past few days for the Raiders. A day after the City of Oakland filed a lawsuit against the Raiders, the NFL, and the other 31 teams, owner Mark Davis was in Tempe Arizona at the league’s owner’s meetings.
What everyone would like to know is whether the suit the City filed will mean he takes the Raiders games out of Oakland for the 2019 season; a year early from their previously scheduled departure for...
It was another strong week for the AFC West with both the Chargers and Chiefs continuing their winning ways in their respective match-ups along with the upset win for the Raiders. The lone team to lose this week was the Denver Broncos who were upset by the San Francisco 49ers, a crushing blow to their playoff chances after battling back to .500 last season.

He has been through four head coaches and just as many offensive coordinators. Every single position on the offense has a different player than when he began. Now the man who drafted him is gone too.
“He drafted me. He gave me my chance,” Carr said of Reggie McKenzie who was fired as GM on Monday.
Shortly after Carr heard the news, he reached out to McKenzie and as he...
Currently the Raiders figure to have two first round picks in the 2020 draft. The second pick courtesy of the Bears as part of the trade that sent Khalil Mack to Chicago. Should those top picks choose to attend the draft that year, they will be selected in the backdrop of the brand new stadium in which they will be playing on Sundays.
“The NFL Draft is one of the most-anticipated events of the year and we are excited to take it to Las Vegas,” Goodell Wednesday said in a statement. “We...
Jackson’s record as a coach is breathtaking.
There was a time when Hue Jackson was the young, up and coming genius head coach in waiting. Al Davis brought him in as the Raiders offensive coordinator in 2010 under then head coach Tom Cable will designs on handing over the head job to Jackson the following season.
Just four games into his season as head coach, Al Davis died. The game in Houston which was won on the final play is etched in our memories. Hue Jackson, overtaken by the emotion...
Death, taxes, and Raiders playing a home game in another country. Those have been certainties the past couple years, and near certainties for some time now. It is now official, the Raiders will once again host an international home game.
