The Buffalo Bills’ Week 8 tilt against the Oakland Raiders kicks off 1 p.m. Sunday in Orchard Park.

If you listen to many Buffalo Bills postgame after wins, players often use the phrase “stacking wins” or “keep building.”

Well, that’s exactly what the Bills can do this weekend with a victory against the Oakland Raiders. Sporting a 5-2 record heading into a Thursday night matchup against the New York Jets is an intriguing possibility.

While it’s been an up-and-down season for the Raiders, they’re coming off of an impressive win against the Kansas City Chiefs last week.

The Bills will be without E.J. Gaines on Sunday, and Jordan Poyer is going to be a game-time decision. Buffalo’s going to have to rely on some backups if it doesn’t want to get into a shootout with the Raiders.

You know the drill, each week during the regular season this column will provide the three ways the Bills can secure a victory. So, without further ado, here are the Three Keys to the Game for the matchup against the Buccaneers, which kicks off 1 p.m. Sunday at New Era Field on CBS.
