NFL Team By Team Judnalysis Part XVI

I do not even know why I am about to discuss the Oakland Raaaaaiders. Plain and simple, this team is terrible. Yes, the defense will be good. Yes, they signed Daunte Culpepper, who, if healthy, could still be a Pro Bowl QB. Yes, they signed Dominic Rhodes away from the Colts (yes, the same Rhodes that has been stealing carries from both Edgerrin James and Joey Addai out in Indy, but was never talented enough to be the workhorse). He is now paired up with LaMont Jordan to make up the least feared backfield in the league. This team scored 16 touchdowns a year ago, only 12 of which were on offense. For those readers who are not mathematicians, that is less than one offensive touchdown per game. Will they pull off some upsets this year? Yes. Will they be favored in any game all season? Doubtful.

AFC West Predictions:
1. San Diego
2. Denver
3. KC
4. Oakland
