Who are the x-factors for the Buffalo Bills in Week 15 against the Panthers?

For the majority of the season, the Buffalo Bills have entered the game as the clear favorite. However, that hasn’t been the case the past two weeks with games against the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

While the Bills can’t take the Carolina Panthers lightly, this is a game they should win and on paper have the more talented roster. The Panthers are certainly strong in some areas, like having the best pass defense in the NFL, but they have serious questions on offense that make this week’s matchup swing in the Bills’ favor.

The good news for the Buffalo Bills is that Josh Allen looks like is going to play this weekend but knowing he may still be dealing with a lingering foot injury, he will need some help. These are some of the biggest x-factors that could have a major impact on the outcome in Week 15.
