This Sunday's matchup between the Oakland Raiders and the Buffalo Bills is generating some understandably mixed emotions among NFL experts. The Bills blindsided everybody with 41-7 demolition of the Kansas City Chiefs in a game that included two touchdowns from Scott Chandler of all people. The Raiders re-upped for another year of being one of the league's most schizophrenic team behind the explosive but injury-prone Darren McFadden.
