Here’s a safe bet Derek Carr‘s willing to make: The Oakland Raiders are about to turn around their fortunes.
It has nothing to do with their upcoming move to lucky Las Vegas, either.
The Raiders quarterback appreciated the growth of his squad in what has been a snake-bit sort of season. Through it all, Oakland had a glimmer of a chance at a postseason spot until the final few minutes or so of its year. Things didn’t break its way in games around the league — or in its own game, for that matter.
Carr’s pass on a 2-point conversion was batted down with 7 seconds remaining as the Raiders lost 16-15 to the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
