Can the Buffalo Bills avoid a trap game?

The top storyline has to be whether or not the Buffalo Bills can avoid the dreaded trap game this weekend against the Houston Texans. On paper, this is a game the Buffalo Bills should win and win easily which creates the opportunity for them to overlook the Texans and ahead to next week’s showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs.

That game against the Chiefs is one of the biggest games on the schedule and is also going to be a primetime showdown. The Buffalo Bills would like to prove they are in the same discussion with the Kansas City Chiefs when it comes to being one of the best teams in the AFC.

While the Houston Texans are likely to end the season with a top draft pick versus a playoff spot, they can’t be taken lightly. While it is unlikely the Texans beat the Bills, there is a reason every football fan knows the saying ‘any given Sunday’ and the Buffalo Bills can’t overlook Sunday’s game.
