The NFL lost an iconic figure in Al Davis this past week. But Davis’ Oakland Raiders honored their former owner’s memory with an emotional road win at Houston. The Raiders are starting to look more and more like a legitimate playoff team. The offense can run the ball better than any other team, and as long as Jason Campbell doesn’t make too many mistakes this team should be in the thick of the playoff race. Even the defense is starting to come around. In the words of Al Davis, ‘Just win baby.’

The Baltimore Ravens head to St. Louis to try to rebound from last week’s somewhat surprising loss to the Tennessee Titans.

They travel to Cleveland this weekend for a date with the Browns, a team that has been blessed with a much easier schedule early on. The Browns have lost to the Bengals at home and won at Indy last Sunday.

The Jets are coming off a thorough thrashing of the Jags at home, while Oakland blew a 21-3 halftime lead at Buffalo, giving up a staggering 35 second half points to lose 38-35 at the end of the game.
