The Oakland Raiders are still in the hunt for a playoff spot in December for the first time since 2011. Though their chances of claiming one of the two AFC wild card spots are slim, Oakland still has the opportunity to close the gap significantly if they can put together a successful December.
With the Denver Broncos (9-2) having a healthy lead in the division, the Raiders must look to capitalize on their 5-6 record and push past at least three of the five teams that currently sit at 6-5. With that being said, any sort of slump over the next few weeks could easily push Oakland out of the playoff race.
