Wait...I know what Oakland fans are going to say: "Last year we killed your playoff chances by crushing you at your own stadium..." and so on and so forth.

Here are the reasons the Raiders will lose, and lose badly, in Denver:

1. Ja'Marcus is back after getting benched! Gradkowski was your only chance for a 'W'. Now the only question is how many picks your boy will throw on Sunday.

2. Eight sacks given up today. Start recruiting O-linemen from your local high school.

3. 14 penalties today. On Sunday you will get 3 roughing the passer calls, 7 holding calls, 3 pass interference calls and a smattering of other sundry penalties.

4. Fifty-eight Raider fans will be arrested for disorderly conduct. Out of the fifty-eight, thirty-two will have outstanding warrants and won't be released the next day. And no, food stamps will not be sufficient for bail. Not a reason the Raiders will lose, but a fun factoid.

I want to thank the Raider organization for helping Denver to a 5-1 division record. The two wins the Raiders will give Denver this year is of great help. Playing in January is so much fun! Remember what that's like? I didn't think so.

Denver 23, Oakland 0
