Something I stumbled across....one opinion on the Raiders' 5 toughest games in 2012:


Week 1: San Diego @ Oakland.  Generally, games in Week 1 don't mean much.  Nevertheless, this Monday night matchup should provide some indication on the direction of both clubs as well as the AFC West.  The Raiders start the season with what appears to be a gruelling six weeks, so a win in the division will be valuable.

Week 2: Oakland @ Miami.  The Dolphins always give the Raiders fits, even when they stink.  Okay, the Phins don't have a legitimate quarterback, but the Raiders will head East on a short week for an early game in the Miami heat of September.  The Raiders had, basically, the same situation in week 2 of 2011 against the Buffalo Bills and choked.

Week 3: Pittsburgh @ Oakland.  This should go without saying.  Matchups with the Steelers are always a heated contest.  At the same time, the Steelers might be a dud in 2011.  I say that because of how the Steelers lost to the Broncos in the playoffs.  That probably won't carry-over to 2012... but it might.  Either way, this will be the third game in what appears to be a brutal start to 2012 before heading to Denver.

Week 10: Oakland @ Baltimore.  Not only is this a road game back East for an early kickoff, but the Ravens are the most talented team, on paper, that the Raiders will face in 2012.

Week 16: Oakland @ Carolina.  My gut evaluation of the NFC South is that the Panthers could be a dark-horse.  Linebackers Thomas Davis and Jon Beason will return from injuries, and in my mind, the Panthers would only be a defensive-tackle away from being legitimate contender to win the division.  A late December game can often have playoff implications for both teams, so this definitely stands out.  Moreover, the game will start a two game road trip to end the season and is slated for December 23--obviously, two days before Christmas.  This stands out as a game that will be mentally and physically gruelling for the Raiders.
