ALAMEDA–The Oakland Raiders after three straight home games will begin a one month hiatus away from the Oakland Coliseum which includes trips to Buffalo (Oct 29), Miami (Nov 5), Bye week (Nov 12), and Mexico City where they’ll be the home team against the New England Patriots (Nov 19) before returning to the Coliseum on Nov 26th to face Denver.

The Raiders went 1-2 during their three week homestand. Their headed to Buffalo this weekend and the Raiders will be playing in Miami on Nov 5. The upcoming game in Buffalo with the time change losing three hours going back east it’s never easy starting a ball game at 10AM. The Raiders match up this weekend against one of the surprise teams in the AFC.

The Bills are 4-2 they have a good coaching staff, a good veteran staff, a home field advantage and a great improved offense with  Tyrod Taylor as starting quarterback. Le Sean McCoy the Bills running back has been one of the key reasons for the Bills successes. Tight ends Charles Clay, Nick O’Leary have also been helping out big.
