Consider this: The Oakland Raiders are coming off a 4-12 season
It's been 10 years since the Raiders have had a winning record.
So... the NFL (or is it the TV Networks) showcase the Raiders ON THE ROAD in Denver on a NationaL Monday Night Telecast. Is this a matchup or simply part of the Peyton Manning hype machine?
Imagine if the NFL served up Jax AT Houston on Monday Night Football. You'd scratch your head and think WTF?"
Well there is a lot more history to Denver/Oakland than there is to Jacksonville/Houston. It seems we play the Raiders on Monday night about every year, and I believe they've matched up on Monday night more than any other teams.
That said, it is a rather curious decision; seems like they could have picked a better game.
