Yea, I mean the truth is every wild card team is pretty threatening.

The Bills are a lot like us. Explosive but inconsistent offense with a star QB that, when he's on, can beat anybody. 

The Patriots have Belichick and even with a rookie QB, he's hard to brush them aside.

The Colts have a dominant run game and opportunistic defense that could overwhelm us.

The Chargers have an explosive but inconsistent offense as well.

The Raiders are the only ones that are still in the playoff conversation (other than the Steelers and Ravens, who still have an outside shot) that don't have some major threat on offense that could derail our season, so it's natural that we'd prefer to face them.

But even then, Derek Carr has shown he can be clutch when he needs to and they have a dominant pass rush which could just completely **** up our offense due to our weak Oline. So you never know.
