Week 17: Atlanta Falcons at Buffalo Bills

The last two games of the regular season are at home and the Buffalo Bills welcome the Atlanta Falcons to Western New York. As Sal Capaccio notes in his tweet, the last time the Atlanta Falcons played in Orchard Park was 2005 when they had Michael Vick under center.

The Falcons are a team that is going to have to rely on their offense if they hope to win this season. They have a veteran quarterback in Matt Ryan, along with one of the best wide receivers in Calvin Ridley and top offensive playmaker from the 2021 NFL Draft in Kyle Pitts.

However, this game is going to be played on January 2nd and the weather in Western New York doesn’t necessarily favor what the Falcons will have to do for a win. The Buffalo Bills have proven they can win in this weather and come away with a win.

Prediction: Win (12-4)

Week 18: New York Jets at Buffalo Bills

The final regular season game for the Buffalo Bills will be at home against the New York Jets. The hope is by this point in the season the Bills at a minimum have a playoff spot secure but the goal would be that the AFC East division title has already been secured.

If that is the case, the Bills could find themselves resting players in preparation for the playoffs. However, if there is still a chance to improve seeding or if they need this game to secure the AFC East this is a game they should win and move their 2021 regular season record to 13-4.

Prediction: Win (13-4)
