Buffalo Bills: 3 bold predictions for Josh Allen in Week 1 against NY Jets

Josh Allen has 10+ rushing attempts

During the offseason, Josh Allen and other people within the organization mentioned how the focus would be to pulling back on his rushing attempts. The thought process makes sense as Allen has averaged just over 114 rushing attempts per season over the last four years.

The Buffalo Bills made some changes to the backfield by bringing in running backs Damien Harris and Latavius Murray to also try and lower the workload on the ground for Josh Allen.

However, this part of his game is not going to go away entirely and there are still going to be games where the offense needs him to make plays with his legs. The Jets have an excellent defensive line and time in the pocket is going to be tough to come by so it wouldn't be surprising to see Josh Allen scrambling more.

When also considering the trend that Allen has had 10 or more rushing attempts in the first game of the season in three of the past four years, I expect Josh Allen to have double digit rushing attempts in this game.
