I’m sure you guys predicted a sweep of us the last two years as well… until we split with you in last year and the year before. Having said that, I promise I’m not here to troll…
Optimism is one of the key ingredients to being a fan year in and year out. The way I see it Oak, Den and KC are probably a LOT closer than you think right now.
If a fan thinks that three of four teams in the division are neck and neck… they will probably pick their team to win out of optimism. Not to mention they follow their team more closely so their offseason moves stick out in their mind more than the moves of other teams. Every fan is like that really.
At least most Raider homers still aren’t predicting we sweep SD. As much as I think SD is on the decline… they are still heads and shoulders above the other three. The best (sensible) prediction any of us could hope for is splitting with SD.
You, being a fan of KC – will probably pick KC to sweep Oakland. I’m a Raiders fan so I would pick us to sweep you (or more probably split with you), etc…
A group of Raiders fans saying we will sweep you is not that far fetched. Just as it isn’t that far fetched to hear KC fans predicting a sweep of Oakland. Neither of us are fielding the same team as last year.
Here’s to the season. :drunkhb:
