With Carr behind center, the Raiders have a bonafide chance of winning a Super Bowl in coming seasons. And they will remain a threat for the foreseeable future. Packed with potency, their offense has the capability to outscore most other units. They are a viable futures bet, particularly as the Patriots and Steelers are aging. However, don’t forget about the Chiefs and Broncos is an incredibly stacked AFC West.
The Oakland Raiders were the first team in the Super Bowl era to win championships in three successive decades. In 1967 the Raiders captured the AFL title with a 40-7 rout of the Houston Oilers.
Although they lost Super Bowl II by a 33-14 count to the Green Bay Packers, it would be the start of four straight apperances in either the AFL or AFC Championship Game for the Raiders. In 1976, Oakland won Super Bowl XI via a 32-14 verdict over the Minnesota Vikings.
In 1980, the Raiders made the NFL playoffs as a wildcard and went all the way to Super Bowl XV, defeating the Philadelphia Eagles 27-10. Three years later, this time as the Los Angeles Raiders, they won Super Bowl XVIII 38-9 over the Washington Redskins.
