Buffalo at Oakland

The Bills, behind QB Kelly Holcomb, have managed to climb back into the AFC East race with back-to-back wins, while the Raiders can’t seem to get on track and have won just once in five tries. RB Willis McGahee has been the one constant for the up-and-down Bills, rushing for at least 84 yards in five of six games. Holcomb, meanwhile, is seeing the field better than J.P. --- nfl ---

Losman, the man he replaced, and making the throws downfield that Losman showed reluctance to make. The Raiders were showing signs of improvement against the run until last week, when they were gutted for 190 yards by LaDainian Tomlinson and the Chargers. --- nfl ---

Until last week, QB Kerry Collins had done a masterful job of avoiding mistakes and not forcing the ball. But while playing from behind against San Diego, he reverted to his old habits and had a number of passes deflected and nearly intercepted. RB LaMont Jordan could be in for a monster day if the Raiders stay committed to the run, as Buffalo is 30th in the league in rushing yards allowed. --- nfl ---

Keep an eye on the status of Randy Moss, who may not be able to go with a groin strain. That would open the door for Doug Gabriel at his WR position.
