Raider Greg makes a bold prediction: The Oakland Raiders will prove to be 2014's "Cinderella Team" of the NFL. Mainstream media is ranking the Raiders as the #32 team in the power rankings. They are ranking head coach Dennis Allen as the 32nd best head coach in the NFL. Raider Greg points out that the Raiders coaching staff has been together for a few years now and the players have had time to digest the playbook. The Raiders have a lot of veteran players with huge chips on their shoulders after being under appreciated by their former teams. The Raiders team as a whole have a lot to prove, after hearing so many negative comments concerning expectations for the Raiders in 2014. He also make a specific bold prediction: "On December 7th, the Oakland Raiders will KICK THE ASSES of the San Francisco 49ers in the Oakland Coliseum!"

Segment #3: “Do we want the Raiders on HBO's Hard Knocks?"

The Raiders are one of a few teams who could be forced by the NFL to do HBO's Hard Knocks program. Several teams have apparently volunteered to be featured, but could the NFL force a team who doesn't want to do the show even though they have volunteers?

Segment #3: “Lies, Lies, Lies"

Don't believe what NFL teams, their GMs, and player's agents are saying this time of year. Johnny Manzeil just visited the Raiders in Alameda. Are they really interested in drafting him, or is their interest a smoke screen to hide their true interests?

Segment #4: Are the Raiders finished in Free Agency 2014? Should they be?
