The Raiders will try to close the season with a sweep of the Denver Broncos on Sunday, but they’ll have to fight off cold weather and a resurgent team that is 3-1 with rookie quarterback Drew Lock at the helm.
After fan confidence dropped to a season-low 21 percent with a devastating loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Raider Nation’s confidence in the direction of the franchise is back up to 57 percent as the team has an very minuscule shot at making the playoffs with a win.
Had they been able to beat Jacksonville in their Oakland finale, the Raiders would control their own destiny and have a chance to make the final wildcard spot with only a win this week.
