Week 11 – Oakland Raiders

The Cardinals one home game in November.  In the middle of a three out of four road game stretch, the Cardinals should take advantage of the one game they can play in front of their fans between October 29th and December 9th.

That said, Jon Gruden, aka “Chucky” is back as the Raiders coach.  He brings a level of excitement back to Raiders football for their fans.

Yes, there will likely be a large contingent of Raiders fans at the game.  There always is.

Raiders quarterback Derek Carr will be facing the Cardinals for the first time in his career.  The last time these two teams played was in 2014 when the Cardinals won 24-13 in Oakland.

The last time these two teams met in Arizona was in 2010 when the Cardinals won 24-23.  That came down to a missed field goal by Oakland.

You might see that again this season.  In fact, let’s predict that.
