The upcoming Oakland game (12-21-08)

[Arky]

The Texans go to the unfriendly confines of McAfee Coliseum (Oakland-Alameda Coliseum) Sunday for a late game @ 3pm CST.

The Raiders don't have much to show for the year but can't be taken lightly. Like any team in the NFL (well, except maybe the Lions), the Raiders can occasionally put a good game together: Their first game of the year, they got thumped by Denver (41-14) and returned the favor (31-10) in the rematch. The Broncos resemble the Texans and not just by blood ties. Both Denver and Houston are neck and neck in statistical categories - good offense, bad defense so Oakland knows what to expect and generally speaking, will probably prepare as if it was another Denver game....

The game is on CBS and Bill Macatee and Steve Beuerlein will be the announcers.
