Over/Under: 48 points

The Buffalo Bills are two and a half point home dogs to the white hot Saints. New Orleans has been a surprise for most NFL fans this season. It is an uphill battle when you’re tasked to dethrone the Atlanta Falcons and take down the Carolina Panthers multiple times a year. The NFC South is a brutal division, but so is the AFC East and the Buffalo Bills will be ready.
The Orleans Saints are currently 6-2 and sit atop the NFC South.
Buffalo is fresh off of a tough loss to a divisional opponent on primetime television. That can be a tough game to recover from, but it can also make the team eager to once again show what they’re made of and they have a great opportunity to do that this week against the Saints.

Predictions
Just two out of ten ESPN analysts chose the Bills over New Orleans for their week 10 matchup.
FiveThirtyEight, a respected sports analytics site gives the Buffalo Bills a 48% chance to win this game. FiveThirtyEight narrowed the spread, but still gave the edge to the New Orleans Saints (-0.5).
My prediction: This is a home game for the Buffalo Bills, and could potentially be a massive win for the team if they can pull this off. Last week was embarrassing, but the team returns to Buffalo for a game that may have the top headline at 1 o’clock. My prediction: The Buffalo Bills edge out the New Orleans Saints 33-30 in a close one at home.
