I am a Chargers’ fan so I do not like either of the two NFL teams. But I will root for the Raiders because they are not going anywhere this year. More so, I do not like Peyton Manning because he is very arrogant and blames his teammates when things do not go his way.

It is not a mystery that Peyton Manning is known for blaming his offensive line and receivers. After the Colt's 21-18 loss to the Steelers, he wasn't just bitter that Mike Vanderjagt missed that field goal. Manning whinned after the game, blaming his defense and not himself.
Do you recall Manning said, "I'm trying to be a good teammate here. Let's just say we had some problems in protection. I’ll give Pittsburgh credit for their blitzes and their rush, but we did have some protection problems."
Does this post game interview ring a bell:

Below are some articles telling you why Peyton Manning lacks true leadership that Tom Brady has:

Ok, first of all, Manning does not "blame teammates" any more than anyone else. I mean have you seen how LaDaininan Tomlinson treats Rivers sometimes?
As to the Raiders beating the Colts, sure it can happen. There is not a single team which cannot be beaten given the right set of circumstances.
If I were Kiffin I would concentrate on the run and target rookie Jeff Charleston substituting for Robert Mathis who moved to right end to replace Dwight Freeny. I would target him with a play-action short passing and running package.
Beyond that, Antwoine Bethea might be out which would expose a vulnerabiliy in the deep passing game.
So yes, the Raiders can beat the Colts. However, as a Colt fan I certainly hope they don't!

I think you have Mr. Manning confused with Mr. Tomlinson.
LT was the one blaming his teammates and coaches for the hardships during the first few games of the season. The news conferences prove that.
Other than the Vanderjagt (who deserved it) fiasco in the playoffs a few years ago, I challenge you to find one instance where Peyton Manning has blamed his teammates for any loss.
He even said that it was his fault they lost to the Chargers because he threw the 6 picks. He did not blame his kicker, his Offensive Line, or his Special Teams. He blamed himself...and the Chargers still should have lost that game!
It's easy to say anything that you want. It is harder to actually prove what you are saying.
To answer your question, the Raiders have absolutely no chance.

the raiders have a very weak secondary and the offensive line wont be able to hand the speed rush by the colts d-line. the only way they can win is hold the ball for 50 minutes and dont turn it over.

Only if 3/4 of the Colts team comes down with food poisoning right before kickoff.

the only way that will happen is if the defense plays as it did last year in the regular season when everyone including their mom could run on them, peyton manning gets drunk before gameday & passes out, & jim sorgi starts thinking he's the sh*t & tries to win the game by himself & maybe the raiders may have a shot.

The saying goes... On any giving Sunday. I really love to see it.
Peyton Manning is the most overrated cry baby to ever play the game.
The Colts are the disgrace of the NFL.

And the Chargers should win too, big time!

Do I think they could? Yes. No team is unbeatable and any given game could have an upset. Do I think they will? no
I do expect the Patriots to have a tougher time with the Jets than they expect.

Oh oh oh you are my idol. You are oh so right about that whining Payton who never accepts responsibility for his crummy throws that get intercepted and blames everyone else. How about those scared happy feet. He looks like an idiot out there. To answer your question, since we all know that he got lucky to win a superbowl or that the NFL is fixed so he could finally win one because he always choked when it counted, I believe its possible he could choke again this week. Oh, and by the way, I loved how your Chargers made him look like an idiot. Can you say "INTERCEPTION."
