The Raiders are rolling. They’ve won four straight games, sit alone atop the AFC West and, would be the AFC’s No. 1 seed if the season ended.
The Silver and Black know it doesn’t.
There are six games left, including three in a tightly packed division. The Raiders can’t let up, and will look for a way to beat quarterback Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers. It won’t be easy despite a disappointing season for the reigning NFC champs. They’re just 4-6 this year, but have enough talent to give the Raiders a run in the East Bay.
