Week 14: vs. Baltimore Ravens

The Buffalo Bills final four games include three teams with legitimate playoff chances and that stretch starts with a home game against the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens made the playoffs last year thanks to a great defense and the ability to pound the rock on the ground.

There is no reason they will move away from this formula in 2019 and the Bills’ defense will need to stop the ground game to give the Bills a chance. The margin of error in this game will be very small and it will likely come down to the final minutes. This is a game that goes to the Ravens.

Prediction: Loss (8-5)

Week 15: at Pittsburgh Steelers

The Bills face their final opponent from the AFC North when they travel to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers. Similar to the game against the Ravens, this will likely have playoff ramifications and if the Bills hope to make the playoffs, these are the games they have to win.

While the Steelers lost Pro Bowlers Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown in the offseason, this is still a very talented football team that is well coached. There is not many teams that can go into this environment late in the season and come away with the win.

For the first time this year, the Bills lose three straight games.

Prediction: Loss (8-6)
