Final Score Prediction
With the way the Buffalo Bills offense has been performing this season and the way the Raiders defense has been playing so far, Bills fans should certainly expect a victory in Week 4. However, the margin of victory is largely dependent on how many players are active on the Raiders injury report as well as the Bills’ defensive performance.
With Tyrell Williams being out for the season and Henry Ruggs ruled as doubtful for Week 4, this matchup is less threatening than it was perceived for the Bills during the preseason. With that being said, the Bills defense has not been performing the way they were expected to in the preseason. Luckily, the Buffalo offense has made up for the lack of greatness the Bills defense has shown through three weeks.
In addition to health, the margin of victory for Buffalo will be greatly influenced by the defense’s ability to put the clamps on Darren Waller and Josh Jacobs. Without these two weapons, the Raiders don’t have a lot to hang their hat on offensively. Even if the Raiders have their way with the Bills defense, I don’t think the Raiders will be able to slow down the red hot Buffalo offense enough. At the end of the day, the name of the game is scoring more points than your opponent.
My final score prediction for week 4 against the Raiders is for the Bills to win with a final score of 34-24. Even with the Raiders injuries, the Bills defense has been struggling and this Raiders offense has the firepower to put up a decent amount of points.
On the other side of the ball, I think Buffalo’s offense will be too much for this young Raiders defense to handle, thus the reason for the 34 points scored by the Bills. Expect Week 4 to be the most efficient showing from the Bills rushing attack so far this season.
Final Score Prediction: Bills win 34-24
