Mike Vick to the Oakland Raiders, the People's Choice

There’s still plenty to be done before Michael Vick can make his NFL return. But regardless, we continue to do what we’ve always done best, which is to look deep inside our crystal ball to find the writing on the outside of a stadium.

Heck, before a college player ever completes his “three-years removed” requirement for draft eligibility, we, with all our mock-ness, already had him fitted for a uniform and added to a roster.

Why would it be different for the soon to be released Dogman of Alcatraz?

Let’s face it, as fans, spectators, analysts, and couch potatoes (whichever category fits you best), we spend more hours building homes for people than Habitat for Humanity.

Today I pulled up BetUs.com. Like Pete Rose, I was curious about recent odds, but would never bet on my own team. But before I could ever locate my games of interest, lo and behold, I saw that the people had already mapped the entire future of Vick.

So I’ll now put on my psychic’s hat, and according to the odds, I’ll summarize the next 10 years of his life.

Vick will be released from prison. That’s the given.

His NFL future is sketchy, and he may never appear on another roster (2/1).

The transition would pass through the sheriff, and Roger Goodell will include a suspension on top of the time already lost from a jail sentence (3/2).

Once his suspension is complete, and he’s eligible for re-entry in 2010, the Raiders (3/1) will outbid the Dallas Cowboys (4/1), and Cincinnati Bengals (5/1) for his services.

The City of Oakland will welcome the new addition to an already talent-filled roster. Jamarcus Russell has more starts under his belt, McFadden has matured, and Vick becomes the primary receiver (2/1).

He’ll never win the MVP award (10/1), and despite his presence in silver and black, the Raiders won’t win a Super Bowl (10/1).

At some point in his second NFL tenure, he’ll be caught in the wrong place, with the wrong people, doing the wrong things, but he’ll narrowly avoid a second arrest (5/6), with not enough evidence to link him to the actual crime.

The people have spoken! And like past revelations, this one is also 100 percent accurate. We break it all down, piece by piece, after the results of extensive research (Sports Center) have been gathered.

We possess the ability to read a thought in an owner’s head, before he ever has one. And if you have no faith in our projections, just look at our track record.

After all, was it not us, and our "all seeing" eye, that sent Pacman Jones to the Cowboys, Jeremy Shockey to the Saints, and Brett Favre to the Vikings?

Eh, Favre to Minnesota is still possible, so shh.
