The Buffalo Bills come into today’s matchup against the Oakland Raiders in a strong position. Their 4-2 record puts them right in line with the division-leading New England Patriots. A victory today would further solidify their chances at a playoff berth, something we’ve all waited for since the turn of the century.
As an additional benefit, the Raiders enter today’s game at 3-4, so a loss to Buffalo would put a rather large dent in their playoff hopes. Buffalo already has one loss to a team that it currently leads in the standings, a disappointing 20-16 loss at the Cincinnati Bengals before the bye week, so avoiding another conference loss is of great importance.
