A year ago, the Oakland Raiders would have lost a game like the one against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

Only this year, the Raiders find ways to win — the 35-32 victory over quarterback Cam Newton and Co. solidifies Oakland as the second-best team in the AFC right now, and the Raiders could be a legitimate threat to the next team on this list.

Quarterback Derek Carr is playing at an MVP level. And he has plenty of weapons around him. The only question is whether or not the Raiders defense will let them down in the postseason when they get there.
