Week 15: Dallas Cowboys at Buffalo Bills
The Dallas Cowboys travel to Western New York to play the Buffalo Bills in a matchup that will be headlined by brothers facing off against one another with Bills' wide receiver Stefon Diggs potentially lining across from his younger brother, Cowboys' cornerback Trevon Diggs.
Last year, the Cowboys defense ranked just outside the Top 10 in yards allowed but gave up the fifth fewest points per game. The reason being they did an excellent job creating turnovers and led the league in that category with 33.
That will be the likely deciding factor here and if the Buffalo Bills can protect the ball, they should be able to secure the win. I believe this is going to be a point of emphasis this offseason for Josh Allen and he does improve in this category and Buffalo secures the win.
Prediction: Win (11-3)
Week 16: Buffalo Bills at Los Angeles Chargers
The Los Angeles Chargers on paper should be one of the best teams in the AFC, unfortunately, they don't seem to be able to put it all together. A perfect example was against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC Wild Card Round after they forced multiple turnovers in the first half but let the Jaguars come back for the win.
When looking at this matchup, it is another excellent quarterback matchup with Justin Herbert continuing to develop against Josh Allen. The Chargers also have done a good job with the talent they have around Herbert with Quentin Johnston adding a group that includes Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Austin Ekeler.
Among the games on the schedule, this probably has the best chance of being the highest scoring matchup of the season. The fact that the Bills are on the road, with a cross-country road trip and it being a short week is enough to give the Chargers the edge in this game.
