Buccaneers vs. Bills key players to watch
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Rachaad White: If the Buccaneers want to be competitive this season, they desperately need some level of run game. White is averaging just 3.2 yards per carry, which isn't going to cut it. Furthermore, the way to attack this Bills team is on the ground. If the Bucs can't run the ball effectively, this is going to be a blowout.
Buffalo Bills
Dalton Kincaid: With Dawson Knox listed as questionable, Dalton Kincaid is going to need to step up at tight end. He's coming off his best start of his career, hauling in all eight targets for 75 yards against the Patriots. Now, he has the chance to secure a firm role in the Bills' passing game with another strong performance against the Bucs.
Buccaneers vs. Bills prediction and pick
People need to pump the brakes on the Bills being frauds. Sometimes, you lose games that you deserve to win. That's just football.
Their offense is still third in EPA/Play in the NFL, ninth in Opponent EPA/Play, and 10th in Net Yards per Play. If there is one legitimate concern for the Bills, it's their inability to stop the run. Luckily for them, the Buccaneers are the worst running team in the NFL. They rank 31st in yards per carry and dead last in rush success rate.
The Bills are in desperate need for a bounce back performance and now they play a lowly Buccaneers team in what is a stylistic dream for Buffalo.
I think the Bills win this game by double-digits.
