KipperSD Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Not really fantasy football related and I didn't see a forum for just football talk in general, but who do you think will get a W first, Oakland or Jacksonville? Do you think either of them could go 0-16? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 The Raiders played some inspired ball for the new HC against the Chargers but as the game wore down, it was blatantly obvious that they just don't have enough in the tank to go toe to toe with anybody. I HIGHLY doubt they win a game this year. Jax, on the other hand, has played well and are going through some QB change anxiety like normal. I'm pegging them to win at least 2 games this year.

Scorcher Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Do they play each other this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin_Akie Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Do they play each other this year? No they don't cos' Jacksonville finished 3rd last year above the Texans and Raiders were bottom. Both will get a win at some point, thought JAX might sneak past the Titans last week but they have been close a few times whilst the Raiders are playing much better for Sparano. I think Jags just cos' of an easier schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Oakland's two best chances appear to be Thanksgiving night at home against KC and week 16 hosting Buffalo. So I'll go with Jacksonville on this... And I'll predict they win next week hosting Miami. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 It wouldn't surprise me all that much if they both won this week. I'd be more surprised by Oakland, I suppose, but neither would be a shock. The odds are heavily against either team going 0-16... There's simply too much parity in the NFL, from week to week. Nobody plays terribly every single week, and nobody plays their best every week. Sooner or later, they are both bound to catch a team on an off week, while playing well themselves. I'd put the O/U at about 2 for Jacksonville, and 1.5 for the Raiders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolphins are the sort of team who usually play to their opponents level so can definitely see this happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grits and Shins Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 But either way the fans (are there even an Oakland or Jacksonville fans?) are the losers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Browns play both teams the next two weeks (@JAX, OAK) so I hope they aren't the ones to lose to the winless teams (like PIT against TB). I think JAX is much less likely to go winless, because they have more games against mediocre teams (MIA, NYG, HOU-2, TEN) while OAK has to face AZ, SEA, DEN-2, KC-2, SD, SF their best chances coming against STL or BUF.

KipperSD Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) Yea its tough to say. JAX has the softer schedule but it looks like OAK is the better team after the strong showing against SD. I do think they both found their franchise QBs and have someone they can build around. I do agree in that they are both bound to win a game. I will say JAX wins first for no apparent reason.

I'd put the O/U at about 2 for Jacksonville, and 1.5 for the Raiders. Agreed, and I'll take the over on both. Both teams are bad, but they all get paid, and sometimes a team just doesn't show up. Last 4 years there have been zero teams under two wins, and just 8 total under 4 - six teams finished with 2 wins, and two with 3 wins. The biggest challenge is Oakland's secondary - you just can't be that atrocious and win anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KipperSD Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Well, JAX answered that question. OAK still winless though with a brutal schedule.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Had Cleveland not sleepwalked through the game today, I think Miami loses to Jax for sure next week. Miami went on the road and won impressively in Chicago which is the exact setup for a letdown next week. Miami still may lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Well, JAX answered that question. OAK still winless though with a brutal schedule.. Not too brutal they get to play the Browns this week, and don't even have an early (1PM Eastern) start, so that should help them. And if they have any healthy RB you can almost gaurantee a 100 yard game for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
