Just two weeks ago the Oakland Raiders were in control of their own destiny in the AFC Wild Card race. Back to back wins over the San Diego Chargers and the New York Jets putting the Raiders in a Wild Card spot with a 4-3 record as everything seemed to be going the way of the Raider Nation for the first time in years.

That was before the Raiders went on a recent two game losing skid, first losing an epic heartbreaker in Pittsburgh to the Steelers before coming out flat in a home loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Those two defeats pushing the Raiders back down to a losing record and into a crowded list of teams who are on the outside looking in on the two Wild Card spots.

According to analytics website numberFire, the Raiders now have only an 8% chance of making the playoffs this season, their playoff probabilities plummetting down due to their loss to the Vikings.

From numberFire:

Projected Record: 7.2 – 8.8 (Change: -0.61 wins) Playoffs: 8.84% (Change: -8.42%) 1st Pick: 0.16% (Change: 0.14%) Power Rankings: 20 (Last Week: 19)

The Raiders still could go on a run to get back into the Wild Card conversation, but needing at minimum five wins in their final seven games to take one of the two Wild Card spots it is not looking likely for Oakland to end a long playoff drought this season. Especially with difficult games against the Broncos, Chargers, Packers and two games against the Chiefs left on the schedule.
