COMMENT: The NFL season kicks off with a classic battle between good and evil.

In the black hats, the Raiders have a new bad boy to show off in receiver Randy Moss. Chances are, New England coach Bill Belichick will have a scheme for Moss. But what will Oakland's see-through defense do about quarterback Tom Brady and running back Corey Dillon? The quest to three-peat begins.
