The resurgence of the Oakland Raiders this season is not only being reflected in the league standings, but also on the Pro Bowl roster.
One reason the Seattle Seahawks were able to clinch a division title earlier than any other team this season is the NFC West has two of the worst teams in the conference: the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers. Combined, the two California teams have five wins this season, and one of them came in Week 1 when the Niners shutout the Rams, 28-0. The rematch happens this Saturday.
With two games to go in the regular season, the Oakland Raiders know that even one slip up could cost them the much-coveted AFC West crown and possibly a first-round bye.
The Green Bay Packers, once 4-6 and fading, are now 8-6 and in control of their playoff destiny. So much for doubting Aaron Rodgers.

The San Francisco 49ers face a daunting task this Sunday in Atlanta as they take on the high-scoring Falcons in the Georgia Dome. It's not likely the 49ers will snap their 12-game losing streak, especially without two starters on offense. Both wide receiver Torrey Smith and offensive lineman Joe Staley didn't practice this week, and the two players are listed as out and doubtful, respectively, for Week 15's game. Otherwise, the San Francisco roster looks relatively healthy for its matchup with the long-time NFC West Division foe from the East Coast.
The Oakland Raiders will likely have to wait at least another week to get defensive lineman Mario Edwards Jr. back on the field for the first time this season.

The year was 1983, and the San Francisco 49ers weren't the Team of the Decade just yet. In fact, after winning the Super Bowl for the first time in 1981, the 49ers slipped well back under .500 in the strike-shortened 1982 regular season and missed the playoffs. Thus, the following season was a big one for the San Francisco organization: Would the 49ers drift back into obscurity or would the team remain relevant in the NFC power hierarchy? One of the craziest games of 1983 was a road game in Atlanta against the Falcons, the 1980 and 1982 NFC West Division champions. Here's what happened.
The Raiders are among the NFL's surprise teams this season. The team sits at 10-3 heading into the home stretch. That said, the Raiders will need a perfect finish and help to win the AFC West crown.
