In their first two games of the 2008 regular season - both wins - the Buffalo Bills have passed big tests in defeating playoff teams from last year in Seattle and Jacksonville. Today, the team faces a different sort of test as they play host to the visiting Oakland Raiders, themselves coming off of earning their first victory of the season.
These Raiders are not to be taken lightly. They have nothing to lose and everything to gain. They're most certainly a franchise in turmoil, but they're also extremely talented in several key areas. They have no reason not to leave everything on the field, which makes them a very dangerous opponent. Make no mistake about it: the Bills need to be on their "A" game to take care of business in their first "should-win" game of the season.
