Buffalo Bills: 3 key matchups in Week 4 against the Houston Texans

The Buffalo Bills have squashed its opponent in each of its past two games, and this upcoming matchup against the Houston Texans figures to be another rout.

Entering Week 4, the spread for the contest sits at Bills -17, the largest number on the board for this upcoming slate of games. When thinking about how these two squads have performed recently, though, that number doesn’t seem very obscene. In fact, this may be a case where the oddsmakers can’t set the line high enough.

Buffalo has defeated each of its previous two opponents by a combined margin of 57 points while the Texans hold a -25 point differential over the past couple of weeks and will be without quarterback Tyrod Taylor for the second-straight week.

This Sunday’s contest has all of the makings of a squash match, but what matchups will be crucial in determining the outcome of this game?
