Oakland, CA (AP) - The Raiders gave up 218 rushing yards and gave up 4 turnovers to the Bears in a horrific pre-season showing last night.  Chester Taylor, newly acquired back up for Chicago starting HB Matt Forte ran all over the place.  Chester scored on runs of 58 yds and 24 yds in the 1st QTR alone.  Matt Forte added 99 yds on 17 carries.

Oakland, CA (AP) - The Raiders opened their 2010 pre-season last night with the most buzzed off season in years.  Along with making the necessary changes at the QB position by acquiring Jason Campbell, Oakland also got their hands on two talented defensive rookies.  1st RD draft pick Rolando McClain from Alabama and 2nd RD pick Lamarr Houston is expected to play key roles to the Raiders' success this year.  Just how the energy around the club seem to be different in a positive way.

A Look Back – Is there a silver and black revival in the cards in 2010? The ’09 NFL betting campaign was a relatively disappointing one for the Oakland Raiders , but a bunch of new faces in the fold could turn this franchise that has fallen upon rough times totally around. There were just no quarterbacks to choose from last season, but QB JaMarcus Russell is now gone, which is going to signal the start of a new era in Oakland.
