Oakland Raiders 2010 NFL Predictions & 2011 Super Bowl Predictions: The Oakland Raiders finished 2009 with a 5-11 record and third in the AFC West. The sports betting odds makers at online sportsbook SBGGLOBAL.com have made 2010 NFL Predictions on the Oakland Raiders to win the 2010 AFC West listed at +600 odds.
Now that the JaMarcus Russell era has come to a merciless end for the Oakland Raiders, this storied franchise will look to rekindle past glory and end the worst run in franchise history. While the Raiders have weaknesses on both sides of the ball, they have added a number of quality performers over the last couple years and could be ready to turn the corner in a division that could be up for grabs in 2010. The sports betting odds makers at SBGGLOBAL.com have made the Oakland Raiders +3500 odds to win the 2011 AFC Championship Game.
The Raiders have been known in recent years for using high NFL Draft picks on players with great athleticism, but limited football skills. The result has been a string of disappointing drafts that account in part for why the Raiders have the second worst record in football since 2003. Though it is too early to know for sure, it appears that the Raiders went away from their focus on long term projects and instead drafted a number of players that should make an impact on the field immediately. Top pick Ronaldo McClain chosen eighth overall out of Alabama, should be an immediate starter at middle linebacker. Second round selection Lamarr Houston out of Texas is a high energy player and should be a great addition to the defensive front. The Raiders also looked to increase their depth at secondary by drafting two cornerbacks and a safety. They selected a pair of offensive linemen who may eventually become starters and also selected receiver Jacoby Ford from Clemson to upgrade the receiving corps. The sports betting odds makers at online sportsbook SBGGLOBAL.com have the Oakland Raiders EVEN MONEY odds to win OVER 6.5 games in their 2010 NFL Regular Season Schedule.
With only four games against teams that made the NFL Playoffs a year ago, the Raiders appear to have a favorable schedule. However, every game will be challenging as they open the season at Tennessee and also play at Arizona, San Francisco, Pittsburgh and Jacksonville. The non-division home schedule includes games with St. Louis, Houston, Seattle, Miami and Indianapolis. The last three games of the season could be very interesting as the Raiders host Denver and Indianapolis before finishing with a game at Kansas City. The sports betting odds makers at SBGGLOBAL.com have made 2011 Super Bowl Predictions on the Oakland Raiders listed at +7500 odds.
