Oakland Raiders: Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#29)

Last week: 30 (+1)

Record: 1-4

The Raiders move up, not because I was impressed with their near win in Atlanta, fluky things like that happen all the time in the NFL and I rarely put much stock in them, but because I think Kansas City proved that they sucked more this week with their epic stink bomb performance in Tampa Bay. This is still not a very good Raider team. Their blowout losses in Denver and Miami are more indicative of their level of talent than a home win over Pittsburgh (not looking so impressive now that Tennessee did it too) and last week’s showing in Atlanta.
