The Raiders will host the Detroit Lions on Sunday and it could create for a dream matchup in Week 9.
The team has been looking forward to a home game as they've been either on the road or on a bye for the last six weeks. So being able to sleep in their own bed, and even seeing their loved ones will be a much-needed treat.
Beyond the comfort of their home, they'll be nice and cozy in their familiar surroundings at the Oakland Coliseum. The team is coming off of a stunning loss to the Houston Texans last week and are looking forward to making up for it.
If you're a betting person, the Raiders are favored in the upcoming matchup according to Sportsline.
