Mike Silver: Raiders will play in AFC Championship

[Skyy God]

Normally I like Silver, but this is too funny to pass up.

AFC: Look for the Patriots (no one cares more about making statements in the regular season), Ravens (toughest team in football, and new fullback Vonta Leach(notes) will only accentuate that), Texans (it’s got to happen sometime, right?) and Raiders (they’re not booing, they’re saying “Huueeeeeee”) to capture division crowns and the Jets (try to take Shonn Greene(notes), Santonio Holmes(notes) and Plaxico Burress(notes) in your fantasy draft) and Browns (just a post-Mangini glasnost hunch) to edge out the Colts (four words: pain in the neck) and Steelers (there’s a reason why Super Bowl losers have struggled for the last decade-plus, even if I’m not exactly sure what it is) for the wild-card berths. I’ve already made the case that the Silver and Black will be back in the AFC championship game; I’ll reveal Oakland’s opponent – and my predicted Super Bowl opponent for the Eagles – when I make my video picks.
