Buffalo Bills

Despite struggling in their two losses of the NFL season against the Texans and Ravens, Josh Allen bounced back to lead his team to wins over the Jets and Titans. Over the two victories, Allen has scored four touchdowns, throwing the ball for 538 yards on an average of 9.8 yards per attempt. He is yet to throw an interception in his 189 passing attempts, showing his improvement in protecting the ball. However, the Buffalo Bills QB will face a bigger test in Seawhawks’ defense, which is ranked the fourth best in the NFL.

The Bills will rely on running back James Cook to bring back their run game against a Seahawks’ defense ranked 28th in defending the run game. Josh Allen will also look to WR Amari Cooper who performed well in his first game for the Bills against the Titans, scoring a touchdown and getting 66 passing yards.

Seattle Seahawks

Seahawks’ QB Deno Smith is having a good season, leading the league in passing yards per game at 283.6. This stat is impressive because he is throwing the ball without solid protection. The hosts will rely on RB Kenneth Walker III to bring back much-needed running to take some pressure off Smith.

Walker exploded for 103 rushing yards in their first NFL game against Denver. The RB will have a chance against a Bills defense that allows an average of 5.1 yards per carry, which is the fourth-worst rushing defense in the NFL.

Despite not being the number one receiver, WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba will provide a needed outlet for Smith as the Bills will likely provide more coverage for DK Metcalf who is questionable to play. Smith-Njigba has the highest number of catches, 37, leading all receivers for Seattle. His contribution will play a big role in whether the home team can beat a better side in the Bills.

Prediction

This matchup will have some touchdowns as it features elite offense players against weak defense in both teams. Josh Allen exploded for a big passing game against the Titans, distributing his passes among his receivers. The Bills also have a better defense than the host team, holding three teams to only 10 points. Even though Seattle is top of the NFL league in passing yards, their defense cannot make needed stops to halt the offensive machine of the Bills, led by top QB Josh Allen.

Final Pick

Buffalo Bills(ML), -165
