Five Reasons the Oakland Raiders Will Win the AFC West in 2009

OK, Ok, settle down, and when you can pick yourself off the floor and stop laughing long enough to read the rest of this, I will back up this preposterous claim with some cold-hard facts that just might slow you San Diego fans down a little bit from calling the men in the funny white coats to come a take me away. Have you gathered yourselves yet...you there, wearing those funny orange and blue No. 7 pajamas, what the heck are you laughing at, you are reason no. 1 of 5, Mr. Pat Bowlen, why the Raiders can win the division next year. Thank you for effectively eliminating the Broncos from any serious contention conversations for next year, as well as removing the top Oakland nemesis and Raider killer off the schedule twice a year. I don't think there is any team that was happier to see Mike Shanahan get removed from the AFC West more than the Silver & Black; in fact, no matter whom you hire, they can't be as bad as a guy who lived to beat the Raiders and Al Davis.
