IMO, the team from Oakland ran out of reasons to play hard a long time ago. This one is purely in the hands of the Pats from an execution standpoint. Even if the Raiders play motivated, they don't have the ability to play with the Pats (assuming the Pats play at their motivated level and are executing well). The Pats can lose this game if they have a let down, and quite frankly, if they have a let down at a time like this, then as much as I'd want to see them make the playoffs, I'd have to wonder if they are really a playoff team. They can't pull another Miami. If they play like the played in any other game (except the 2nd half of the Steelers game, but I do give the Steelers some credit for forcing mistakes), they win this game going away.

If Wilfork can't play then Matt had BETTER have another career day because if he doesn't it's going to get ugly.
