More From Oakland Raiders
If the playoffs started today, the Oakland Raiders would be out of course, and the Packers would be in. But a win by the Silver and Black today would keep their postseason hopes – admittedly, very much on life support at this point – alive. At least for another week.
A win by the Raiders today could also potentially damage Green Bay’s postseason aspirations. At 9-4, the Packers have nothing sewn up just yet. The Minnesota Vikings (8-5) are nipping at their heels and are within striking distance of claiming the NFC North for themselves.
