Raiders kick off 2010 slate at Tennessee
By Bud L. Ellis
The climb back into the AFC playoff picture begins for the Oakland Raiders in Nashville.
The National Football League has released game times and dates for the 2010 season. The Raiders, coming off a 5-11 season, begin the new season with a road game at the Tennessee Titans on Sept. 12.
The home opener is Sept. 19 in week 2, against a St. Louis team that went just 1-15 one season ago. Oakland then visits NFC West champion Arizona before playing host to a two-game homestand against Houston and AFC West champion San Diego.
A pair of road games is next, at San Francisco and at Denver, before a pair of home games with Seattle and Kansas City brings Oakland to its bye week Nov. 14.
Four of the final seven are away from home, starting with a Nov. 21 contest in Pittsburgh. Miami comes to town the next week, before Oakland travels to San Diego and to Jacksonville. The home portion of the slate concludes with back-to-back home games with Denver and AFC champion Indianapolis. Oakland concludes the regular season at Kansas City on Jan. 2.
