So here’s a series of thoughts worth considering until the effects of Proposition 64 kick in:
1. The Raiders keep winning, which is not an unwarranted thought given that they’re 8-2 now.
2. The Raiders make the playoffs, which is a given after Monday’s 27-20 come-from-behind win over the improbably decent Houston Texans.
3. The Raiders beat New England in an ankle-deep snowstorm in Foxborough officiated by Walt Coleman, which would be a particularly delicious heap of karma right up the alleys of the mythology-soaked Raider fan base (which, by the way, is not a nation, no matter how much it would desire secession right now).
