A lifelong Alaskan and football fan, I love the Oakland Raiders because of my grandma and the Detroit Lions because of Barry Sanders originally. I still have feelings for them because I love an underdog and love to see them win. A Lions/Raiders Superbowl would be my nightmare., but hey, at least one of my favorite teams would be guaranteed to win!
