Denver Broncos @ Buffalo Bills: 3 Bold Predictions

CHARLOTTE, NC - SEPTEMBER 17: Jerry Hughes
CHARLOTTE, NC - SEPTEMBER 17: Jerry Hughes

After the offensive horror show in Carolina, the Buffalo Bills will be hoping to bounce back.

One problem, they’re facing arguably the best defense in football. On the bright side, the Bills defense was firing on all cylinders. Anyway, into the predictions…

The Bills will stop Von Miller from picking up a sack

Yes, I know Jordan Mills is beyond bad at football. However, when the Bills faced the Texans at home in 2015, they restricted JJ Watt to 0 sacks. That was with the same offensive line, give or take. One of the keys to winning on Sunday will be stopping Von Miller and I believe the Bills will do just that. Expect to see a lot of double teams on Miller come Sunday.

A Bills receiver will have 100 yards

No, I’m not on drugs. A Bills receiver will indeed have 100 yards this Sunday. If I had to choose one, I’d go with Zay Jones. Jones took his dropped catch hard after the game last Sunday, I think he’ll bounce back in a big way this week.  Tyrod will target him early to get over the drop and that will be the catalyst for a big game from Zay.

Denver will have zero touchdowns on the day

Let’s face it, if the Bills are going to win on Sunday, it’s most likely to come in the form of a defensive masterclass. I saw somebody mention the Green Bay upset in 2014 and although Trevor Siemian is no Aaron Rodgers, it would be just a surprising if we won on Sunday.

The defense against Carolina balled out and there’s no reason they can’t do that again. There is only so much they can do though, Tyrod will have to contribute more than 100 yards in the first half, I reckon.
