The Buffalo Bills (4-1) are a few days away from their matchup against the Atlanta Falcons (2-2) on Monday Night Football. In what is sure to be a good game, let's make some bold predictions about what could go down between Buffalo and Atlanta.

4 bold predictions for Bills in Week 6 primetime matchup vs. Falcons

1. James Cook will catch a touchdown pass

Cook has scored five touchdowns already this season, but he has yet to catch one. Against a solid Falons pass rush, expect Cook to be utilized more as a reciever out of the backfield. Josh Allen will be looking to get the ball out quickly, and that will mean Cook might get a larger share of the passing game on Monday night.

2. Buffalo will not turn the ball over

After turning the ball over three times against the Patriots last week, the Bills are going to have the best week of the season, at least when it comes to ball handling. Nobody in the organization wants to see a repeat of last week, and Buffalo is certainly capable of cleaning up the turnovers. Last week was the first time in over 20 games that the Bills lost the turnover battle. They won't lose it again.

3. Buffalo will sack Michael Penix 4+ times

The Bills have 13 sacks so far in 2025, averaging about two-and-a-half per game. In Week 6, Buffalo will break through in a big way, bringing down Falcons QB Michael Penix at least four times. Joey Bosa and Cole Bishop will both be in the middle of it, with each pass-rusher accumulating 1.5 sacks for their own season totals.

4. Josh Allen will lead a game winning drive

The Falcons are not going to go down without a fight. In their last game, they hung 34 points in a win over the Washington Commanders, who themselves are a solid team. Look for this game to be a back-and-forth affair between the Bills and Falcons, with both teams doing just enough to hang around until the end. However, in the fourth quarter, the stars will shine the brightest for Buffalo. Josh Allen will lead the Bills on a game-winning touchdown drive, and the Bills will secure a 27-23 victory.
