Oakland Raiders vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

If plundering those precious metals the 49ers and Steelers produce is your thing, strap on your peg legs, eye patches and prepare your best pirate brogue for hitting the high seas.

This, of course, would mean you’d be taking part in a showdown between the Oakland Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, right?

Oakland owns the Black Hole, while Tampa Bay’s Raymond James Stadium has a freaking pirate ship at one corner of the end zone.

Sorry, but that gives the Bucs an edge here in this NFL battle of naval supremacy. Or Super Bowl XXXVII. Just take your pick.
