Oakland Raiders 2010: NFL Schedule and Superbowl Odds

The Oakland Raiders are quietly optimistic for improvement and their 2010 NFL schedule gives them a shot to get off to a good start with their opening game at the Tennessee Titans on September 12th. Oakland will then host the St. Louis Rams, a 1-15 team last year, in the September 19th home opener for another winnable game in NFL betting odds. The Raiders will then travel to Arizona to face the Cardinals on September 26th before hosting the Houston Texans on October 3rd. One of the most bitter rivalries will resume on October 10th as Oakland hosts the San Diego Chargers in an AFC West feud that goes back to 1960.
