Week 4 – Away vs Las Vegas Raiders

It is unknown at this point the advantage the home crowd in Las Vegas will provide the Raiders. While there will certainly be a pro Raider crowd you can expect Bills fans to flock to the tourist friendly city of Las Vegas. The Raiders can cause the Bills some issues on defense with running back Josh Jones and wide receiver Henry Ruggs III.

The problem is, how will the Raiders stop the Bills offense?  Their front seven doesn’t scare anyone on paper while the secondary lacks star players as well. It’s the secondary that I see Brian Daboll feasting on the most. Expect a big day from all the wide receivers while Josh Allen throws for over 300 yards.

Week 12 – Home vs LA Chargers

Another unknown quarterback situation at the moment, but not something that should scare the Bills either way. Veteran Tyrod Taylor doesn’t anticipate throws and is hesitant to make big plays with his arm. His biggest strength of running will be neutralized by the fact the Bills defense sees Josh Allen in practice every day.

If the Bills face rookie Justin Herbert he likely won’t have a big successful season as most rookie quarterbacks don’t. Not only are the Buffalo Bills at home, but they’ll have extra rest coming off a bye week.  This game looks to be straight forward on paper.
