Four men will try to make the difference this year; Darren McFadden, Adrian Peterson, Kirk Morrison and Thomas Howard.
Peterson did pretty good with the Vikings last season, but even with the great success of Peterson, the Vikings were still only able to win 8 games.
Their is no way that this Raiders team is anywhere near the level the Vikings were at a year ago. If the Raiders are lucky, they win at most 6 games this year, so we predict the safe bet is on the under.
Head coach Lane Kiffin likes the Hollywood controversy and after a "¿will he stay for 08-09 season question?" he finally made it to training camp. We doubt he will be next year.
Since free agent period means money, money and money, some of these sky high contracts where given to former injured players like Tommy Kelly and wide receiver Javon Walker.
Even if you agree that Kiffin put the Raiders on the right track last season, when the team was much more competitive that it had been under Art Shell, you have to admit a train wreck seems imminent.
With the owner and head coach at odds and the head coach and defensive coordinator not exactly best buds, a dark cloud will hang over this club all season long.
