Actually, we beat them at home last year. The last time we played them in Oakland was in the 2000 playoffs. They beat us 24-0.
However, the homefield advantage has not been a sure thing in the AFC. The Raiders lost to Baltimore when they had homefield in 2000 as well.
Nonetheless, we must beat the Patriots first. They, we can hope for a Pittsburgh and/or a Tennessee loss and be the #2 or #3 seed.
Go Dolphins!
