Raiders head coach Jon Gruden gives a fist pump after a 17-10 victory over the Bengals.
Holy hell, the Raiders are going to make the playoffs, aren’t they?
After surviving the ultimate stumbling block on Sunday against the winless Bengals, Oakland are 6-4, looking out at the horizon Monday morning with a smile on their collective faces. FiveThirtyEight gives them a 42% chance of reaching the postseason at the moment, though that kicks above 50% with a win over the hollow Jets at MetLife Stadium in Week 12.
Their remaining schedule is as follows:
• Jets (3-7)
• Chiefs (6-4)*
• Titans (5-5)
• Jaguars (4-6)
• Chargers (4-6)*
• Broncos (3-7)
*The Chiefs and Chargers play on Monday Night Football.
