If you’re like me and left your Christmas shopping until the last minute this year, take heart that with the Oakland Raiders clinching a playoffs birth last week, we can breathe a bit easier this Christmas eve.
After an emphatic 19-16 win over the Chargers in Qualcomm last week, the Raiders will return to the Coliseum hoping to solidify home-field advantage and a coveted first round bye. Last week’s performance was by no means perfect, but building a stronger position heading into January is the first thing on the Raiders minds when they lock horns with the Colts this week.
