As much as I like Oakland, I still think I am going to have to go with Cleveland, especially because of that win last week over Cinci outta of no where. Who will you be picking in week 3?

Many people (Raider Fans) have felt that the refs and Shanahan cheated the Raiders out of a win in Denver. As a Raider fan, I am going to surprise many and say that the Raiders did not get cheated, they just got snakebit. Jaws, I felt should have made that field goal, though it was from 52 yards out.
Now to the question at hand. Who will I pick, Hmmmmmm....
I guess the Raiders will finally break into the win column and probably by at least 10. Clevelands defense was horrible, but on that particular sunday, the Bengals "D" was worse. I have to give it up to the Browns and say they played a heck of a game. I also see much improvement in the Raiders offense and little back step in the defense. It is still early in the season and who knows what will happen. Hey, look at the Texans record (2-0) and the 49ers (2-0). These are surprise teams, but nowhere more surprised than the 2-0 Lions. Will any of these teams actually stay undefeated through half the season, I would have to say no. The 49ers play the Steelers in Pittsburgh. Houston is the only team playing at home, but they are up against last years Super Bowl champs, the Colts. Detroit is the only team I see probably staying undefeated, playing the Eagles at home. Philly is struggling early in the season and might be another victim of the surging Lions.
So, this early in the season, we see a topsy-turvy season where teams that should be undefeated are struggling or winless and teams that should be the dogs are strongarming teams they shouldn't be. We just have to wait till week ten of the season to see who are the real contenders and the real pretenders.
P.S.: If there are any misspelled words, the spell check on this site is taking too long and I am about to head to bed. So, sorry any misspelled words or names.

Oakland's the favorite by 3 points, so I'll take Cleveland as the underdog. It's a tough call, because it was probably a one-game wonder for Cleveland's offense but Oakland's pretty bad...
Josh McCown has been pretty awful. Not sure if Daunte Culpepper will be much better if he plays in his first game of the season.
This could be an ugly game... Just like last season's game between the two teams.

I hate the Raiders, but they have shown that they don't give up easily, like they did last year. They're playing hard the entire game.
Cleveland had a smoking game against Cinci last week, but the Bengal's defense isn't very good at all.......especially their secondary. I don't think they'll put up anywhere near as many points on Oakland.
Oakland has a WAY better defense than Cleveland. The Raiders get their first win this week.

I am going to go with Cleveland on this one.
The Raiders a horrible defense and they do not have enough to cover the Browns receivers. The Browns should be able to put up 100 yards on the ground in this one with no problem. The Raiders offense is pretty bad also. McCown is the worse quarterback playing as a starter right now.
Browns 27
Raiders 20
