Raiders Host Colts This Sunday

Posted by Matt Loede on December 15th, 2007 filed in News

The Raiders are at home this Sunday afternoon to battle Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts. The Raiders enter this contest at 4-and-9, having dropped a 38-7 decision on the road last Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. Meanwhile, the Colts are 11-and-2 after last Sunday’s 44-20 dismantling of the Ravens in Baltimore. Indianapolis can wrap up the AFC South title win a victory and would also clinch a first-round bye in the playoffs with a win combined with either a loss or a tie by Pittsburgh. The Colts won the previous meeting with Oakland, 35-14, during the 2004 season in Indianapolis while the Raiders lead the all-time series, 7-3. The Colts will be looking for their first road win in the series since 1986 while their last win in Oakland came during the 1971 season. Kickoff from McAfee Coliseum is set for 1:05 p.m. and the game will be televised locally on CBS (KPIX-5).
