I could see them being 2nd behind San Diego. I don't expect that Denver or KC will challenge much this year, and, excluding our game, Cable seems to have Oakland buying in. I doubt they will win a playoff game, but with the AFC East battling to the bone, an easier division schedule could give Oakland a backdoor shot at a 9-7 wildcard.

My crazy scenario which would be awesome (but unlikely) to see: Oakland v Redskins in a rematch of SB XVIII with the Redskins winning in the new playoff format when McNabb completes a 4th and 31, then throws a TD to Kelly after Oakland settled for a 35 yd field goal on their first OT possession. Final score Oakland 24, Skins 27, in Dallas' new stadium where cowboys fans held a mass Jim, err Jerry, Jones ritual right before the game.
