The Denver Broncos come to the Black Hole to face the Oakland Raiders this Sunday. Donkey fans are talking a lot of smack, so I don't know about you, Raider Nation, but I'm ready to just absolutely murder them.

This game is very important for the Raiders season. If they lose, they will be behind 1-2 in the division. That would put them in 3rd place, because you can expect that the Chargers will beat the Dolphins. If the Raiders win, they will be in first place in the division, giving themselves a great head start. Also, you can never forget that this is our longtime hated rivals we are talking about. 

I think we can all agree that the Bronco fans are giving their team way too much credit. They started off 2-0 last season and finished 8-8, no playoffs. Now they are excited over 2 non divisional wins against top 5 drafting teams. Please. Just stop.

The Raiders, however, are 1-1, both divisional games. Last year, the Raiders started 1-1, and lost the next game. A 1-2 start is always hard to come back from. If the Raiders win this weekend they will be on the road to 3-1, as the Texans come up next. 

Here are some keys to victory for the Raiders:

Bang up Kyle Orton

If you can bang up Tom Brady and win (Jets last week, Giants in Super Bowl) then you can sure as hell attack this fool Orton and win. We have a great secondary and if we can force some picks this game will be over quick.

Stop Elvis Dumervil

This guy got four sacks last week and hast to be accounted for. Put a healthy Fargas in the backfield on passes and we'll be fine. Cornell Green will need to stop him too. 

Shut down the Broncos Wide Receivers

They have good WRs and we have to shut them down. We have a great secondary so this should be a good match up. Former WR Jonathan Holland will play some defensive back so we will see what he's got.

Pass the ball well

JaMarcus, come on man this is when we need you. If Russell can get accurate and have a good game then he will have a winning record vs. the Broncos. Also that will shed some pressure off the running game.

Give Mcfadden and Bush more carries

Enough said. These guys need the ball more. It will open the play action pass if they can play well. I'm confident these guys can rumble and tumble all over the Donkey Defense.

Just Win, Baby

At whatever cost, just win. Do Al proud.

Final Prediction: 24-10

Comment and tell me what you think the Raiders need to do well to win. Also I'm interested in hearing how YOU think the game will turn out. Thanks for reading guys.
