Very quietly, the Raiders (4-4) and Vikings (6-2) have created a tasty NFL matchup in Week 10.
Both teams enter the weekend in playoff contention. Oakland -- who is jockeying for position with the Bills, Jets and Steelers -- would return to a playoff place with a victory. Minnesota is tied atop the NFC North with the Packers.
