There goes the inside track for the 1st overall pick with this win, but I couldn’t care less about that. It’s not that I don’t want the top pick if it’s there for them, it’s that this team needed a win more than they needed to pick at the top of next year’s draft. There is only so much embarrassment players can take, and this team was at their wit’s end with it.
Even if it does mean that the Raiders just threw away their chance at that top pick, this win is worth it. They still are going to get a great pick out of this awful season either way anyway, and their schedule is so brutal the rest of the way that the odds are still good that they will get that top pick anyway.
