The Raiders

I honestly think, all bias aside(this coming from a guy who thinks we don't win more then 6 games this year), the Raiders are not really better then us.

On paper, we have better receivers then them, a more dynamic offensive play caller, CMC, a better QB.

Then on defense, our front 7 has had 3 out of our last top 2 round picks invested in it, Weatherly, Kawaan Short (Who hopefully will return to form in a new system), Shaq Thompson who has now stepped into Luke's shoes. 

Secondary is where we will struggle, the issue? The Raiders secondary is just as bad as ours.

Jon Gruden imo is not the coach he is all cracked up to be, 10 years $100 million, he's secure enough he's not under pressure to win this year (especially with no fans in their new stadium in LV this year), I don't see it being much of a difference in a coaching battle vs Rhule.

Panthers win this game. 

For anyone who will call me a homer, Tampa wins 56-17 next week, that's my prediction.

This is why we can't have nice things

    • I am curious to see if Warren is the elite player that the Huddle Warren stans believe. I am always fairly wary of these first round TE's.
    • The Rossi things isn't going away, either... https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/3312416/unfinished-business-7-players-to-watch-in-back-half-of-nhl-offseason The Wild and Rossi shouldn't be having any trouble hammering out an extension. Rossi, an RFA turning 24 in September, recorded the second-most points on the team last season (60 in 82 games). The smart, skilled, highly competitive 5-foot-9 Austrian is a homegrown top-six center. Minnesota has $10 million in cap space and no other significant spots to fill to finalize its 2025-26 roster. Problems lurk below the surface, however. Coach John Hynes demoted Rossi to the fourth line in the playoffs, dropping his nightly usage from 18 minutes in the regular season to 11 in the first-round series loss to Vegas. GM Bill Guerin's top to-do list item at the moment is to lock up Kirill Kaprizov. The superstar winger, who's been eligible for an extension since July 1, is due for Leon Draisaitl-type money (around $14 million average annual value) starting in 2026-27. Guerin has said there's no rush to sign, trade, or match an offer sheet for Rossi. If he stays, a short-term extension makes sense, since it gives both player and team flexibility. If he leaves, a trade is far more likely than an offer sheet. Half of the league could use a second-line center, and Rossi still has upside. The Hurricanes desperately need to upgrade at 2C (Jesperi Kotkaniemi isn't going to cut it) and have plenty of cap space. Ditto for the Sabres, who picked Jack Quinn one spot before Rossi went to the Wild in the 2020 draft. Mammoth bench boss Andre Tourigny coached Rossi in junior, and they don't have as much wiggle room, but trading top-six winger Nick Schmaltz (plus a pick) could make the math work. Guerin wants to make a so-called "hockey trade" here.
