The Oakland Raiders won an important road game this week against the Minnesota Vikings, 27-21, and the reason the game was so important was because it gave Carson Palmer a clear blueprint on how to win the AFC West this season.  If Palmer can have no turnovers, a great passer rating of 107.9, and find a way for the team to put at least 25 points on the board, the team will be in great shape. If Palmer replicates this performance the last six weeks of the season, the team should win at least four games and make quite a bit of noise during the playoffs.  Well at least for a week everything will be ok in Raiderland, because the team is finding ways to win and now has a two game winning streak after beating the Chargers and the Vikings.  Hue Jackson’s decision to trade for Palmer does not look so bad.
