Opponent's group in my power rankings at kickoff: Group A Group B Group C Group D Group F
RAIDERS 27, Dolphins 13 (LV -3.5). The Raiders ran all over the Dolphins. They made some mistakes, but the Dolphins couldn't take advantage because they made numerous mistakes of their own. 290-259 LV, 4.1-3.5 MIA
Raiders 26, CHARGERS 14 (LAC -6.5). These teams both made huge mistakes in this game, but the Chargers committed more errors, including a late Omarion Hampton fumble when they were driving down three. Justin Herbert and Joe Alt were awful. 310-305 LAC, 5.0-5.0 tie
Raiders 35, SAINTS 27 (NO -3). Brock Bowers made some huge plays early in this game, but the Saints got out to a big lead. The Raiders stormed back with two strip-sacks of Tyler Shough and then a Juwan Johnson fumble. 381-340 NO, 5.4-5.3 LV
Chiefs 30, RAIDERS 27 (LV +4.5). This was a back-and-forth game where the Raiders took the lead with five minutes to go. The Raiders fumbled a punt return following a late Chiefs touchdown, which basically ended the game. 437-399 LV, 6.9-5.6 KC
PATRIOTS 45, Raiders 17 (NE -3.5). The only mistake the Patriots made in this game was a Corey Kiner fumble. Otherwise, Drake Maye lit up the Raiders, and Kirk Cousins couldn't keep up at all with no help from the running game. 536-306 NE, 8.1-5.4 NE
Bills 33, RAIDERS 30 (LV +4.5). This was a high-scoring game where both teams had leads. The Raiders were up 7-3 and 13-10, but the Bills dominated the third quarter with James Cook. The Raiders rallied back to tie the game at 23, but the Bills scored 10 points toward the end. Tre Tucker caught a deep touchdown to get the cover, but the onside kick wasn't converted. 378-345 LV, 6.2-5.4 LV
Bye week: Week 13.
