NFL week 7 power rankings round-up: Raiders rise in rankings over bye week

Despite the Raiders coming off a bye, they’re still riding high off their win over the Bears in London the week before. So, let’s see where they stand after letting everyone else fight amongst each other for a week.

Rank: 18

Previous rank: 19

As we learned from Jon Gruden's instant-classic postgame speech from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium two Sundays ago, the Raiders players got a week off after reaching the bye at 3-2 following a huge win over the Bears. This felt like a wise decision by Chucky. The Raiders are in the midst of a 49-day stretch of games away from Oakland, and Oakland players could probably use some family-and-friends time right about now.
