Week 16: Oakland Raiders
The Eagles will be hosting the Raiders on Monday Night Football… On Christmas.
On the day of holiday spirit, gift-giving and jolliness, two of the NFL’s most rabid fanbases will collide in Philadelphia for a (hopefully snowy) showdown on national television. You can say I’m a little excited about this.
For the first time in a long time, the Raiders are actually good. Watching Carson Wentz and Alshon Jeffery duke it out with Derek Carr and the Raiders’ electric offense is going to be quite the Christmas present.
It will be interesting to see if Santa makes an appearance at the Linc that night. We all know how that turned out last time…
