 Raiders (2-7) at Dolphins (5-4) — Sunday, 10:00 a.m. PST, CBS
THE SCENE:
Score the results of the Raiders 2008 offseason on a scale of 1-10, and they earn a 0.   Fill out a report card on their first nine games, and they get a G, one step down from F.  Last week they intercepted Panthers […]

Chargers (4-5) at Steelers (6-3) — Sunday, 1:15 p.m. PST, CBS
THE SCENE:
The Chargers were one point, or rather one two-point conversion, away from devastation against the Chiefs.  It’s a position that’s been all too familiar so far this year. And while the win may have prolonged their season or at least helped keep them in the […]

Bruins (3-6, 2-4) at Huskies (0-9, 0-6) — Saturday, 7:15 p.m. PST, FSN
GAME TIME:
When UCLA defeated Tennessee on Sept. 1, it felt like a national statement.  As it turned out, the statement was less “we’ve arrived” and more “we’re just slightly less lousy than you are.”  And should the Bruins travel to Seattle and fall to […]

Saints (4-4) at Falcons (5-3) — Sunday, 10:00 a.m. PST, FOX
One possible reason the Falcons are off to a surprising 5-win start, Roddy White no longer eats three or four No. 2 combos from McDonald’s. Another reason, they’re balanced offensively and becoming stingier by the week on defense. Saying they shut down the Raiders last […]

Chiefs (1-7) at Chargers (3-5) — Sunday, 1:15 p.m. PST, CBS
THE SCENE:
How bad is the AFC West? Bad enough that the three-win Chargers are 1.5 games out of first place. Bad enough that the team San Diego trails, Denver, lost to one-win Kansas City last month.  And bad enough that all four teams have allowed more than […]

Panthers (6-2) at Raiders (2-6) — Sunday, 1:05 p.m. PST, FOX
THE SCENE:
The Raiders gained negative two yards in the first half last week against Atlanta. That’s two yards fewer than you or I had, closer to resembling the American dollar’s value compared the Euro than production from an NFL offense.
And that’s not the worst of it.
On Tuesday […]

Beavers (5-3, 4-1) at Bruins (3-5, 2-3) — 3:00 p.m. PST, FSN 
GAME TIME:
Oregon State can win the Pac-10. Digest that for a moment. Meanwhile, as the Beavers relish life in the driver’s seat on the road to the Rose Bowl in January, the Bruins must win three of its final four games to become Bowl […]

Jets (4-3) at Bills (5-2) — Sunday, 10:00 a.m. PST, CBS
Last week, Brett Favre got booed at home and the Bills lost to Miami, their second loss in three games.   Which one is worse? Probably the former, considering Favre earned it after throwing a fourth quarter pick-six and several other reckless passes. But at least […]

Falcons (4-3) at Raiders (2-5) — Sunday, 1:15 p.m. PST, FOX
THE SCENE:
In a race to become the most undisciplined laughingstock in professional sports, the Raiders have lapped themselves. Despite getting beat down 29-10 by the Ravens, Oakland defenders taunted Baltimore fans, rowdily celebrated tackles and waved their arms at their opponent’s bench like helpless birds flapping […]

Raiders (2-4) at Ravens (3-3) — Sunday, 10:00 a.m. PST, CBS
THE SCENE:
If winning ugly got you to the Super Bowl, this game would probably be a preview of the AFC Championship. The Raiders picked up their second victory of the year against the Jets last weekend, but converted a couple of Brett Favre airballs into a […]
