Probably just wishful thinking, but I'll take the Raiders with a healthy Jimmy G to win at least 9 games and be in the playoff hunt at the end of the season.
I'll also take the Broncos to lose at least 9 games and Russel Wilson be definitively declared washed up.
A healthy Jimmy G is pretty good. Jimmy's problem is he has only stayed healthy one season in his whole career as a starter.
I could see the Raiders winning 9 though. Who knows what the broncos will do. I don't understand why they were so bad last year. I mean Wilson should at least still be a decent QB.

Short athletic QB's don't age well, especially if injuries hurt their accuracy. He can't hist those crazy moonball throws anymore and that's what really made him special.

Yeah being mobile really helped him as well when he was in Seattle. I didn't watch much of the Broncos last year but guessing he isn't running as much now either.

He's basically aging into what Cam Newton turned into: a big name QB who can't really run or throw.
