The Raiders are severely devoid of talent on both sides of the ball and will be starting an inexperienced quarterback in Terrelle Pryor behind an awful offensive line. The Colts upgraded their offensive line in the offseason and Andrew Luck shouldn’t have many problems moving the ball against a suspect Oakland defense.
