#98....NFL Picks Week #9

Despite all the doom and gloom hanging over the Oakland Raiders franchise, there are some bright spots.

Here's the deal.?

In the media age, almost anyone can accuse anyone of anything. Politicians can be accused of bribery, lawyers of falsifying information, and even the guy at the local burger joint for spitting on your food.

In the history of this historic franchise, the Oakland Raiders never had more than two consecutive seasons of losing 10 or more games, in fact from 1960 to 2002 the Raiders had only had a total of four seasons (this right, FOUR).??

The Raiders can?t let head coach Tom Cable ruin their season, as doing so would eliminate their chance of establishing the winning foundation that they need to make the playoffs in 2010.

Oakland Raiders head coach Tom Cable has been very much under fire lately.?

The National Organization for Women says Oakland Raiders coach Tom Cable should be suspended while the team investigates allegations that he has a history of violent behavior toward women.

ALAMEDA, Calif.-When Tom Cable was hired as interim coach of the Oakland Raiders last year, owner Al Davis memorably whispered to a subordinate that he did not know much about him. Davis needed a media guide biography before introducing him.
