The Raiders are still in playoff contention, even though their chances are slim
The odds are against the Raiders regarding the playoffs. After beating up on the disinterested Los Angeles Chargers 63-21 on Dec. 14, the Raiders sent a signal Monday they shouldn't be discounted by winning 20-14 at defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City. Las Vegas (7-8) has only a 12% chance of making the playoffs, according to the NFL's projections, but that number rises to 30% if the Raiders beat the Colts (8-7).
