With the Houston Texans victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday Night Football, the Raiders find themselves back in the playoff picture as the sixth seed in the AFC. A win on Sunday over the Jets would do wonders for the Raiders playoff hopes.
Not only would they be in a tie with the Chiefs for the AFC west division title at 7-4, but they would also have a one game lead over the Colts and hold the tie-breaker over them.
It won’t be an easy week.
