Raiders -- only home win this year was against the Jets in OT. They beat the Chiefs at the beginning of the year, and three weeks ago beat the Broncos in Denver.

Cardinals -- Are 3-5 against anyone not in their division. They are 5-0 in the division. They are 3-4 on the road. They are 2-1 against the AFC, beating the Fins and Bills, but losing to the Jets.

Bills -- haven't won an division game yet.

Don't forget the Cards are 0-3 in games on the East Coast losing them by a combined total of 72-128 (an average game score of 24-43).

As much as we think teams that have nothing to play for would prefer to dog it and play for a better draft pick I don't think that's what winds up happening.

I think the players and the coaches all have a lot of pride and that a team with a losing record is much more intent on establishing a winning environment than worried about moving up a draft spot. We saw that yesterday and we've seen that in past years as well, with a tough fought game by a team with "nothing" to play for except the pride of finishing a season on a winning note.

I guarantee the players won't take anything for granted - if they needed a wake up call they got it yesterday.

Well, the Raiders may have no choice but tank it. It may be that Andrew Walter may be starting on Sunday. Walter was horrible with Moss and Porter to throw to. He is even worse now.
