Bills Need A Win Against Green Bay

Despite having a 3-0 non-conference record, most are predicting that the Buffalo Bills will receive their first non conference loss of the season at the hands of the Green Bay Packers this after noon at 1 p.m. ET.

The sports book have the Packers as the favorites with a moneyline at -4. However, most believe this game could be much more one sided than that.

The Packers are trying to stay one step ahead of the Detroit Lions in the NFC North division and guarantee their spots in the playoffs.

The Packers offense is one of the best, if not the best, in the NFL. Green Bay’s offense has pushed the total into the over in 10 of their 13 games this season. The Packers average about 33 points per game. Buffalo’s defense are no push over, though, particularly their pass rush. Rodgers has proven he can handle solid defense. he just recently passed for over 300 yards against the Atlanta Falcons. He will now attempt to do the same against the NFL’s best pass rushers.

The Packers are only 2-4 versus the spread when playing away.

The Bills need this win. They sit at 7-6 and a good show in the final three weeks will make the difference between a post season and going home.

That means the pressure is on rookie quarterback Sammy Watkins. It will fall on him to put together a game where his team can match the pace of Green Bay’s high-scoring offense. He will not be able to do it alone.

The Bills average about 25 carries on the ground per game. The Bills may want to utilize Fred Jackson, Anthony Dixon and Bryce Brown a little more in this game to shorten the clock and control the pace of the game.

A big 49-point total is not necessarily a surprise considering the Packers average 33 points a game and the Bills average about 22 points a game. This means the Bills will either have to try and slow the Packers roll or keep pace on offense. Likely, they will have to do a little of both. It is interesting to note that the Bills have only hit the over twice this season.
