Oakland<\/h3>\n

A few years ago it would have been unheard of for a team to go winless in a 16 game schedule but the Lions did it and now I think the Raiders have a great chance too. In looking at their schedule this might be as good a chance as any to avoid that fate because anything can happen when the Cleveland Browns are involved.<\/p>\n

Still that doesn\u2019t put this one anywhere close to a probable outcome. The Raiders built a terrible roster and the results are coming to fruition.<\/p>\n

The Raiders have little to hang their hat on this season. Last year they were a productive running team but that seems to have run dry this year, even though they brought in MJD in the offseason – is it possible this team was better with Terrelle Pryor at QB.<\/p>\n

On defense things are a little better with rookie Khalil Mack looking more like the real deal.<\/p>\n

Cleveland<\/h3>\n

It is typical Cleveland to win a couple of games in a row and provide some hope only to then lose to Jacksonville, in a game that was pretty pathetic – no wonder the chants for Maziel are getting louder. That win would have made them a contender in the division and with their schedule they might have been able to extend that for another month or so.<\/p>\n

Instead we are wondering whether it might be possible to lose back to back games to winless teams.<\/p>\n

Manziel or not the Browns should get this thing done on Sunday and get back to a winning record. I think he will play but they won\u2019t need him provided their defense continues to play solid. I would love to see more from them offensively but again this week they can get by.<\/p>\n

Jordan Cameron needs to be more involved though. He only has 10 catches this season.<\/p>\n
