Silver & Black Attack

The Oakland Raiders are a playoff threat with hobby stars on the rise.

After going a disappointing 7-9 last season, the Oakland Raiders have proven to be one of the NFL’s best squads in 2016 and some of that success is due to strong performances from some of their young players that are on their way to becoming hobby stars. With just three games left in the schedule, the Raiders were sharing the top spot in the AFC West with Kansas City.

After splitting the first two games of the schedule, they won three in a row and were starting to look like potential contenders. Soon after, a six-game winning streak cemented those feelings for many, but they experienced a tough loss to the rival Chiefs in Week 13.
