3. Oakland Raiders
The Good News
—Among the four teams in the division, their rushing game is by far the strongest.
—Home games against Kansas City and Houston can become wins.
—The team can put the Kiffin saga behind it and focus on football the rest of the way.
The Bad News
—Half of their games are against teams at or over .500.
—How long until JaMarcus Russell plays like a No. 1 pick? The Raiders are 31st in the passing game.
—Al Davis replaced a young coach whom he felt had little experience...with Tom Cable?
—If they win too many games (two or three at this point), they won't make the playoffs and it'll take them out of the race for the No. 1 pick.
Projected Finish with Predictions
4-12 (Wins: KC, HOU. Losses: SD, DEN, CAR, MIA, NE, TB)
4. Kansas City Chiefs
The Good News
—They should contend for the No. 1 pick in next year's draft.
—Their last two games have been close, and their offense has shown signs of life.
—A game against Cincinnati to close out the season should add to the win column.
—They have a core of good young players that should develop in the near-future.
The Bad News
—A Herman Edwards led team, in the bottom 10 for total defense? Unreal.
—Discipline is important, but can you really afford to sit Larry Johnson right now?
—29th in points for offense and defense will usually mean a bunch of losses. It doesn't look like it'll get better.
—Games against New Orleans, Miami, San Diego, and Buffalo will be hard to watch for fans.
Projected Finish with Predictions
3-13 (Win: CIN. Losses: SD (2), OAK, DEN, MIA, NO, BUF)
