Oakland Raiders Reach 75th Straight Game Without Being Upset

By beating a Pittsburgh team that was favored to win anyway, the Oakland Raiders reached their 75th straight game without being upset. The streak is expected to continue this week as the Raiders are underdogs to the Washington Redskins and thus, cannot be upset.

"We are excited that we haven't lost to a team worse than us in 75 games" said Oakland Raiders Bossman Al Davis. "If we continue to beat the teams we're supposed to beat and lose to the teams we're supposed to lose to, we'll be in good shape to get top 5 draft picks for years to come."

The streak started five years ago. Last season, the Raiders were just 5-11 but won every game they were favored in (which was none.) This year, they are 3-8 but they've been the underdog in all 8 losses. The streak is most likely to extend to next season, as they Raiders will be the underdog in each game so they cannot be upset.
