| (Best E Casino) - One week after suffering through a historically miserable loss to the Atlanta Falcons, the Raiders will be at it again on Sunday at the Oakland Coliseum. The challenge of recovery won't be made much easier by the quality of the opponent - the first-place Carolina Panthers. Carolina (6-2) boasts the NFC's second-best record as Week 10 begins, and will also travel to the Bay Area as a well-rested team following last week's bye. In addition, the Panthers can't afford to fall into a trap in Oak |

Hall amassed 48 tackles and a half sack with a team-high three interceptions over eight contests with the Raiders this season. Over his five-plus seasons i |
