Raiders will be 1st / 2nd in AFC West in 08?

Yes. They aren't better than SD but better than Denver and KC. JaMarcuss Russel will be a good player, Fargas will run well. Their line will improve. Their D-Line is going down but they do keep Tommy Jelly and have Burgess. Their defense is pretty good. Their special team play needs to improve as does their WR corp, outside of Curry.
