I actually like it though. Then i won’t be so anxious watching all the other playoff games waiting for ours. And get a long rest of the weekend to recover. Plus if we lose I don’t have to watch the rest of the playoffs because I won’t care (that won’t be an issue though).
Plus Raiders played 5 qtrs in the last game of last week and now have to play the first game this week. Don’t think that helps them at all. Advantage Cincy.

The slot does not help the Raiders who played the night game that went to overtime last Sunday. They have to travel through 2 time zones to a cold climate to play on a short week. They didn't even do a real practice this week. They only did walk thrus.
What LF40 and Pally said. We need to win this game so frickin' bad. We have lots of advantages over the Raiders.
They only have a few and the short week for them without a real practice could take those few advantages they have away.
