Around SBN: Clippers Need To Realize That Spurs Are The Anti-Grizzlies

Oakland's Fans Are Expecting A Win

Oakland's record is 4-8, but they've won their last two games and ended a 17 game losing streak against AFC West opponents, so they are feeling pretty good about themselves. Saint over at Silver And Black Pride broke out a fondue reference while expecting a win on Sunday at Lambeau. He thinks the Packers run defense is weak, Oakland can stop RB Ryan Grant, and Oakland will grab a couple of picks. If QB Brett Favre does have a three turnover game, then Oakland could win like Chicago did at Lambeau in week 5. RB Justin Fargas ran pretty well two weeks ago at Kansas City against their average run defense, but did nothing three weeks ago against Minnesota's excellent run defense at the dome. Grant hasn't been stopped over the last few weeks while running against some very good run defenses, so it's a longshot that Oakland's really awful run defense is up to the task.

It's looking pretty good on the injury front but we'll have to wait and see until Sunday. CB Charles Woodson and DE Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila looked likely to play at Dallas, but both ended up missing it. QB Brett Favre is back taking about 70% of the snaps and should be fine on Sunday.

Oakland fans expecting a win
I am a Raider fan and for the first time in my life bought season tickets this year.  I love the Raiders, win or loose.  I am a "franchise fan" period.  I started reading the blog you are talking about at the begining of the year in anticipation of the draft and have kept reading it all year.

Never before has an opposing team's fan been so obnoxious on that web site.  I am embarassed for the Packers.  The Raiders fans on Silver and Black Pride .com may be "drinking the cool aid" but you must be a GB fan that is "eating the fudgepacking cheese."
